From CLEs and professional development to networking opportunities, member events, and community initiatives, our committees play an important role in making PBCBA a vibrant and connected Bar. We’ re grateful to this year’ s Committee Chairs for their leadership, service, and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for our members and strengthening our profession and community.
