CBA Record November 2016

Thank you for renewing your CBA membership!

As the legal profession continues to

face new challenges, it is comforting to know that we have a strong membership base that is committed to

strengthening our profession and improving our justice system. But what are we doing for you personally?

These are only a few of our new programs currently underway. Our goal is to continually offer innovative

programs that engage our members in new and helpful ways. If you want to get more involved and don’t know

where to start or have ideas for new programs or services, please contact me at

Together we can make the CBA an even stronger force in the legal profession and in our community.

Sincerely
