Showing Our Community the LOVE

February is the month of all kinds of celebrations, including making it through January.

PHEW! If you are reading this, you made it out of the first month of a new year. 2022 was great and then not so much, but 2023 is proving to be amazing so far!

Thank you to all who came out to meet our new 2023 boards and to celebrate with us. I would love your feedback on our events, new magazine, CLE offerings and all things LCBA. I continue to offer my ear to anyone who would like to chat about the LCBA and what we offer. If you have an idea for an event, CLE or something we should offer, please contact me.

Each year, I ask the community, legal and at large, to offer sponsorship dollars to the LCBA to ensure we have a great year. I get to partner with some really wonderful and supportive people and businesses! You see their logos on things, you see their names and brands on social media posts, and you hear their names at each event. Please make sure to thank them when you see them, shake their hands, refer them to clients and support those who support us. It is vital to our VBA that we continue to harness those relationships. They help us to help you! This being the month of Valentine’s Day, I figure I would ask that each of you reading show them some LOVE!

In case you have not noticed, we have a new PR firm, Priority Marketing. This means a new year, new look, and we could not be more pleased. The refresh of the Res Gestae is very exciting for us at the LCBA HQ, and hope that you feel the same way!

We are always looking for contributing writers, so if you like to write or feel that you have something to contribute, please let me know! Have a favorite place to eat or want me to write about it? Please let me know. Learn more by sending an email to RGSales@prioritymarketing.com.

Please remember to check the calendar in the magazine and on our website at www.leebar.org, so you can register for all of our amazing events coming up! This month, we are hosting not only the County Mock Trial, but also the Circuit Mock Trial. This is always a fun event to watch and participate in, and is held at the Lee County Justice Center. Turn to page 20 to learn more!

As always, thank you for your membership with the LCBA. I hope to see you at our next event!
