CBA Record

Thank You for Being a CBA Member

Thank you for renewing your CBA membership! As the legal profession continues to face new challenges, it is comforting to know that we have a strong membership base that is committed to strengthening our profession and improving our justice system. But what are we doing for you personally?

Expanding our CLE programs to address emerging practice areas and trends in the legal profession. Developing a mobile app to view our CLE seminars on smart phones and tablets, making it more convenient for you to earn CLE credits anywhere, anytime. Hosting networking events with other professional groups such as the IL CPA Society and Turnaround Management Association to help expand your business contacts. Providing new resources for solo/small firm lawyers including start up guidelines, malpractice insurance savings, business development workshops, and technology training for support staff.

Revamping our Senior Lawyers Section to serve the needs of our baby boomers who are dreaming of retirement. Creating new opportunities for young lawyers to get legal training in return for representing underserved populations. Offering more volunteer opportunities to enhance your resume and connect you with members of Chicago’s legal community. Supporting new work-life balance resources including seminars, a Working Parents blog and the Mindfulness and the Law Committee. Adding new career resources, mentoring programs, on demand seminar webcasts, and more!

These are only a few of our new programs currently underway. Our goal is to continually offer innovative programs that engage our members in new and helpful ways. If you want to get more involved and don’t know where to start or have ideas for new programs or services, please contact me at president@chicagobar.org.

Together we can make the CBA an even stronger force in the legal profession and in our community.

Sincerely

Daniel M. Kotin 2016-17 CBA President
