Bar’s Fall Meetings to be virtual going forward

The Board of Governors has agreed to convert all Fall Meetings — one of three major events on the Bar’s annual calendar — to a virtual format.

The board voted unanimously at a January 29 meeting to approve a joint proposal by the Program Evaluation and Budget committees. The conversion would reduce Bar expenditures alone by $62,000 annually, according to staff estimates.

“In addition to the savings obviously to the board, more importantly I think, are savings for our members to participate,” said President Dori Foster-Morales.
