President ' s Message : All About Our Sections
I cannot believe that we are already almost halfway through the Association ’ s “ year ”, and the holidays are upon us ! Time has flown by so fast , and I hope you all have had an opportunity to attend the various events that the Bar and its Sections have organized .
On October 28 , 2023 , the Association hosted a viewing of the Georgia / Florida game . The two rivals teed it up on the banks of the St . Johns River , and the game was quite riveting as No . 1 Georgia won the game to extend their winning streak to 25 games . Thank you to all the sponsors , Sections and our sister and brother organizations who supported this event . It was so fun to meet our lawyers ’ families , and the children seemed to have had a blast running around ASW Distillery . As always , thank you to the Association ’ s staff for organizing this amazing event for our lawyers and their families !

Now , the star of this issue – our Sections ! As the saying goes , our Sections are the “ lifeblood ” of this Organization , and they represent twenty-three practice areas and groups . Without the Sections ’ leadership teams , we could not continue to create innovative programs and services that stay in step with the ever-changing legal landscape . From the Atlanta Council of Younger Lawyers , a section solely focused on law school students and younger lawyers the necessary steps to navigate their first trial , teaching them how to execute their first transactional deal , or teaching them how to establish their own firm through our diverse continuing legal education programs and the Sole Practitioner / Small Firm Section benefiting solo practitioners and small firms to the Litigation Section ( our largest section by membership ) comprised of litigators
across the spectrum of practices , offering discussions about various litigation topics of interest to the Section members . There is a home for you and your practice . See what the Association has to offer you , and we look forward to helping you build your brand , network , and expertise !
From my family to yours , I wish you all a safe and happy Holiday season . Cheers and see everyone in 2024 !
Amy B . Cheng Atlanta Bar Association President
