Plan to attend our Section meetings on october 22, 2020; January 14, 2021; March 11, 2021; and May 13, 2021. Despite our current circumstances, we hope you have all had an enjoyable summer and stayed healthy and safe. We are looking forward to this year and we are honored to serve as your co-chairs. In an effort to maximize everyone’s time and provide the best programming possible, we are going to continue with the luncheon schedule from last year and will have four luncheons, all of which will be for CLE credit. The luncheon dates are tentatively scheduled for: October 22, 2020; January 14, 2021; March 11, 2021; and May 13, 2021. As of now, it is likely that at least our October CLE will be conducted via Zoom. If anyone is interested in presenting a CLE, or has feedback regarding the online format, please reach out to us. In addition, like last year, we are always looking for opportunities to help the Tampa Bay community through pro bono service, so if you know of any opportunities or any projects you would like our Section to consider adopting, please let us know. Finally, one of the best ways to keep each other apprised of relevant legal issues that may affect each of our practices is through this Lawyer magazine. The Lawyer offers members an opportunity to discuss various legal issues or interesting decisions that may affect how we practice, as well as the opportunity to be published. However, the Lawyer’s success is dependent on the members of the HCBA submitting articles, so we invite you to consider contributing an article. Please contact us if you are interested. We look forward to a great year and seeing you at our Section’s various events this year! n Authors: Kasey Feltner - Shutts & Bowen, LLP & Elaine McGinnis - Law Office of Elaine McGinnis, P.A.
