Call for Committee Members: East Region Solicitors Conference Planning Committee

The CCLA Solicitors’ Conference Planning Committee is seeking members. We would like the committee to include lawyers who represent a cross-section of the East Region solicitors’ Bar (including both inside and outside Ottawa – teleconferences can be arranged), including at least one lawyer who has been practising for 10 years or less. 

The committee is a standing committee of the CCLA, accountable to the CCLA’s Board of Trustees, to which it reports through its co-chairs. The committee typically meets every three weeks, from September until February, with ongoing activities leading up to the conference in May. Committee members are responsible for setting the program of the conference, arranging speakers and panelists, approving the conference logistics, and recruiting attendees. 

If you are interested in joining the committee, please send an email to Jennifer Thompson at the CCLA (jthompson@ccla-abcc.ca) to let us know. Include in your message what you would bring to the committee and be sure to mention your year of call and to describe the nature of your practice.  Please feel free to include any other information you might feel appropriate.   

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 5:00 PM. 

Please note: All applicants must be members in good standing of the CCLA. 

Thank you!

Kathleen Robichaud and Paul Taylor
