Thanks, Tai! What all did you have to do to report and get hours for this meeting? I have only ever done CLEs that were pre authorized in my jurisdiction, and the last time i attended the NABL meeting, the only jurisdiction I had to worry about was  Maryland, which has no CLE requirements. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide!
