Are you ready to celebrate?
We are fast approaching the end of The Bar year and our annual events as a Section. This year we have plenty of reasons to celebrate and some unique opportunities to do so. Next month, I’ll provide a recap of all the accomplishments of the Section over the past year. In the meantime, I want to personally invite you to join us at the annual meeting events to network with your colleagues, hear about all the great work that’s being done by the Section, and connect with the Section.
This year, if you can join us for both Wednesday and Thursday we’ll keep you busy and entertained! Here’s a taste of what’s in store:
- Celebrating 25 Years. This is the Section’s 25thyear, and we are ready to celebrate!
- We’ll have our Chair’s Receptionon Wednesday, June 13, from 7 to 9 p.m. Join us for some refreshments and heavy hors d’oeuvres, good company, and a great playlist.
