61st Annual Conference of Bar Presidents and 13th Annual Young Lawyers Summit

Description

The 61st Annual Conference of Bar Presidents and 13th Annual Young Lawyers’ Summit will be a little different this year.  This 100% Virtual Event will be a mix of valuable substantive programming on topics including: Crisis Communications and Virtual Event Planning, as well as opportunities to connect with other Bar Associations around Maryland in small group breakouts, and, as is tradition, we will end the day with a bit of fun.

Although traditionally a complimentary event for Executive Directors, Presidents, and President-Elects of Bar Associations throughout Maryland – because we are virtual – we are extending invitations to any Bar leader (e.g. Treasurer, Secretary, YLS Chair).  Please be sure to note your role in the registration form below.

Please contact Doris Barnes (doris@msba.org) or Theresa Michael (theresa@msba.org) if you have questions.

The Agenda for the day is outlined below.  More details to come, so please check back.

The Best Service to the Public, Best Service to the Bar, and Best Special/Small Bar Best Project awards honor the bar association projects that further a local association’s mission and serve the public and our profession. Nominate a project that deserves recognition by filling out the submission form below by October 27, 2020.
