120 Committees. Committee participation
is among the all-time best benefits helping
lawyers to supercharge their careers, stay
connected with the legal profession, stay
abreast of the law and best yet, you will
meet and become lifelong friends with
many lawyers who share your professional
and personal interests. Some of these pro-
fessional colleagues/friends will become
referring lawyers enhancing your practice
and business development opportunities.
Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs also
work with the Continuing Legal Edu-
cation Committee to develop/sponsor
educational seminars for the members.
Leadership opportunities abound within
