Message from the Chair

As we begin the new year, I want to wish all our members a happy and healthy New Year. I’m looking forward to what the new year ahead will bring and appreciate how engaged our members continue to be.

I also wanted to share a quick update: the application period is now open for members interested in serving on the Executive Committee. If you have ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great opportunity to shape the work of the organization, work closely with colleagues, and support our shared professional goals. I encourage eligible members to review the position details and submit an application before the deadline. You can find more information here. 

With the upcoming March 2026 MCLE deadline, this is also a good time to check out our available content – and the upcoming content highlighted in this newsletter – if you haven’t already. Getting an early start can make the process much less stressful and gives you more flexibility to choose programs that fit your interests and schedule.

You can find more information about Executive Committee applications and our MCLE programs on our website. I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out, and I look forward to staying connected in the year ahead.
