Greetings Business Law Section!
I am looking forward to joining the 325+ of you who have registered for the Labor Day Retreat in Marco Island. Whether you are joining us later this month in person or not, there are many ways to get involved with our Section and take advantage of all that membership in our group has to offer. As a Section we have many initiatives, but our main focuses are continuing legal education, legislation, professional development and networking. We put on dozens of CLE programs each year, addressing cutting edge legal issues affecting the business community in our great state of Florida. Further, every year we pursue both proactive and reactive legislative positions that shape the legal landscape within which businesses operate in Florida. Through these initiatives, we build meaningful, long-term relationships and a powerful network with the over 6,500 bright and talented lawyers, judges and academics in our Section, of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. I encourage and challenge each of you to join us and participate at some point this year, whether that is by coming to a meeting, joining a study group, signing up to learn about a new development in the law, or volunteering to serve. Like most things in life, the more energy you put into our group the more you will get out of it. I hope to see you soon.
Stephanie Lieb, Chair
