The end of the Capital Area Bar Association year is drawing near, but the end of the year is full of continued opportunities for connection and community. We have our membership luncheon on April 21st, a CLE on how to hang your shingle on April 28th, and our final celebration at the Evening Honoring the Judiciary on May 12th.

We will spend the evening of May 12th celebrating those whose contributions to our professional community have enriched our lives. That includes our award winners and every member of this organization who has given of their time and talent this year, whether you served on a committee, provided insight through CLE or a newsletter article, or attended an event. There are many ways you can spend your time, and CABA is a better organization because you chose to spend that time with us. Thank you!

I am incredibly grateful you have allowed me to serve these past few years on the CABA Board of Directors and this past year as president. I look forward to passing the gavel to Graham Carner and all that he has in store for us next year.
