Dear Fellow Washington ACC Members:
This will be my last column as President of the Washington ACC Chapter. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your President for the last two years. I would like to thank our Chapter Board of Directors and our Chapter Administrator Lynda Jonas for all their work during the last two years. Your Chapter Board has worked to bring you timely and relevant CLE programs in fun and different venues, some of the highlights and programs that have been available to you the past two years:
- Hosted first meet the Board After hours wine & cheese
- Blue Ribbon Cooking School CLE
- Hosted the Annual ACC Conference in October 2008
- M’s Game CLE in 2008
- Holiday Annual Ethics Dinner at the Columbia Tower
- M’s Game CLE in June 2009
- M’s Game CLE in July 2009
During this time we have seem our Chapter membership grow to over 400 members.
Our Chapter continues to provide scholarships for minority students at each of the States Law Schools (please see an upcoming article in the newsletter about where some of the Scholarship recipients are now).
We have several more exciting programs remaining in 2009. Your Washington ACC Board and several of the Chapter Committees have been meeting since the end of 2008 to layout several CLE and social programs throughout the year. Please visit the chapter website at www.acc.com/chapters/wash/. The website will contain information about upcoming events as well as past materials and a report of past events. As always, If you would like to write an article or have ideas for the type of material you would like to see in the newsletter please contact Heather Deranek at heather.deranek@onrequestimages.com or Lynda Jonas at ljonas@legalease.com.
I would like to encourage you to attend the events our current chapter will hold this year. Where else can you get your required CLE credits within areas that are specifically on-point for your job responsibilities?
If you are interested in becoming more involved, please feel free to contact myself or one of the other board members. We look forward to your attendance and continued participation.
