Dear Friends:
I hope you have enjoyed the summer. The NCWBA Officers and Directors have been busy organizing and planning for the exciting year in store for us. We are working on events including virtual chamber chats with various members of the Nassau County judiciary, CLE lectures and networking programs. Additionally, “Give Back with the NCWBA” will include events throughout the year that allow us to provide assistance to various people in our local community, including victims of domestic violence, veterans and children in need.
The first of our events will be our Annual Membership Cocktail Party and Salute to the Judiciary scheduled for Monday, October 25th at 5:30PM at the Nassau County Bar Association. This is a complimentary event for members and a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues especially as we begin attending more in person events. Of course this event, like all NCWBA events that take place over the next year, will comply with CDC COVID-19 guidelines for gatherings.
Because of your support last year, we are fortunate to have four delegates from our Nassau County chapter who will represent our chapter this year at the meetings of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York (WBASNY). These delegates will ensure that the voice of our chapter is heard on the state level. If you have not yet renewed your NCWBA membership for 2021-2022 year please take a moment to renew online via the link below. Take advantage of our Early Bird Discount and renew your membership by September 30, 2021. Remember as a member of the NCWBA, you are also a member of WBASNY and entitled to various member benefits that can be found at https://www.wbasny.org/content/membership-resources/member-benefits/ .
Please remember to visit our website, www.nassauwomensbar.com, and let us know your comments and suggestions. If you are interested in having a more active role in our chapter please do not hesitate to contact us via email at ncwbasecretary@gmail.com. We welcome your input and look forward to your ideas for future networking events and CLE’s. On behalf of our chapter, I look forward to a wonderful year for all of us.
Very truly yours,
Lisa A. Cairo
NCWBA President
