[blindlaw] NABL 2018 Annual Meeting Agenda

[Scott C. Labarre]

Greetings everyone:

 

I look forward to seeing many of you in Orlando.  Below is the agenda for
our meeting this year.  Please remember that  you can go to our website and
prepay for this meeting and for the Mock Trial.  If you wish to bundle
several items, you select one and then hit continue shopping.  Al Elia tells
me that this  works and if it doesn't, then we will blame him.  Grin Even if
you prepay for the NABL meeting, please stop by the registration table so
that my assistant, Lisa, can get your information and give you the materials
if you are in fact purchasing same.  To all who are traveling to the
Convention, bon voyage!! 

 

Best,

Scott
