PRESIDENT'S COLUMN AMANDA ARRIAGA, TEXAS CASA
The Heart of the Matter—Our Members
O
ur first Austin Bar Association Board of Directors meeting was held on Aug. 31. We haven’t had strategic planning discussions as a board in some time, so we took a step back to consider, “What do we
owe to our members?” We had a great preliminary discussion, and since we haven’t figured everything out yet, I also want to hear directly from you, our members. What do you want from your bar association? Do you want more community service events, more networking events, more CLE, or something else? Do you wish we had more events that had to do with your area of law? I want your time as a member to be meaningful, so email me at amanda@austinbar.org and let me know what that would look like to you.
One upcoming event that we created based on feedback to have some more fun low-key events is a family-friendly Halloween event on Saturday, Oct. 29. One upcoming event that we created based on feedback to have some more fun lowkey events is a family-friendly Halloween event on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The entrance fee is a new stuffed animal (or a donation) to support Adoption Day, which will be held on Thursday, Nov. 10. If you have any other ideas about
events we should incorporate into our programming this year, please let us know, and better yet please join one of our committees andLAWYER help us turn those ideas AUSTIN AL AL into action.
