Dear Real Property Law Section Members:
Welcome to the 2019-2020 RPLS ExCom Year! As the incoming Co-Chairs, we are so excited for all the opportunities the California Lawyers Association (CLA) Real Property Law Section (RPLS) has to offer. This marks the beginning of the first full ExCom year that the sections will have the support of full-time staff from an organization that puts the sections and lawyer services first. Although the CLA is only a year and a half old, we are blessed with the benefits left to us by the State Bar: a 6,000-person section membership, statewide and nationwide leadership opportunities, and a direct line to the Legislature and California Supreme Court. For those interested in CLA-wide opportunities, government affairs, drafting legislation, or additional leadership opportunities, please let us know and we will connect you with the right person or committee. Also, be sure to read the monthly CLA Leadership emails for snapshots of what is happening.
Our section also has an amazing monthly e-bulletin that ExCom member John (J.R.) Richards rebuilt last year to be a content-rich summary of the RPLS’s monthly activities. This is really important for our members because we are one of the most active sections and we need our members to know about all of the benefits and services we offer. We encourage you to regularly read the e-bulletin so that you can stay up-to-date on our section, and see how you may contribute.
