Please see below an important message from NAPABA:
As we continue to monitor the situation regarding the coronavirus, we at NAPABA have had to make changes to our association calendar. One of these changes was a tough decision; the other was simple.
Lobby Day
Reluctantly, NAPABA
is canceling Lobby Day, originally scheduled for May 18-19.
Out of concern for
your safety, the safety of your families, and all whom you may come in contact
with, we are following the advice of the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) to
suspend all events that may attract 50 or more people scheduled for the next eight
weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
We are working with
the Thompson Hotel to cancel reservations for those who have already secured
lodging.
As current events demonstrate, advocacy on behalf of our communities remains as
important as ever. NAPABA continues to work with Congress, the Administration,
our partner organizations, and our affiliated bar associations to address our
immediate challenges and maintain the relationships we will need to continue to
represent our communities. We encourage you to continue to speak out, contact
your elected officials and local leaders, and continue to work with your local
bars in partnership with NAPABA to make a difference for our communities.
NAPABA Convention Call for Programs
A second calendar
adjustment involves our deadline for the 2020 NAPABA Convention Call for
Programs. The deadline has been extended to April 20 at 5 p.m. ET to
provide you more time to submit your proposal.
We understand that the
current situation may impact your ability to secure speakers for your program
ideas as people’s schedules change. We want to reassure you that the CLE
Committee will take the current events into consideration upon reviewing the
submissions and will not count the lack of “confirmed” speakers against your
submission.
We still encourage you
to include those who have expressed interest in speaking on your program as
“confirmed” speakers, but we understand that their availability may
change.
We look forward to
receiving your program submissions by Monday, April 20!
Please be safe and
stay healthy!
