Presidential Fellows | CBA 101 Event
The Connecticut Bar Association is hosting a presentation for the current classes of Presidential Fellows and the Young Lawyers Section that will help educate regarding the basics of the Bar Association itself, including on the ins and outs of structure and processes. Topics will range from governance structure, the annual budget, membership, member benefits, CLE creation and lobbying. This will also provide attendees with an opportunity to ask leadership and staff questions about the Bar Association. If one wants to become more involved with the Connecticut Bar Association, this presentation will help give them the tools to do so.
