Recruiting law school students and converting them into chapter members after they graduate is critical to the future of the FBA. The value of the FBA is, at its heart, comprised of its members and the vast array of experiences they bring to our community. We want to develop a series of programs that demonstrate that varied and unique set of expertise and skills and drive home why the FBA is a community we all love and are committed to throughout our careers. We want to know what you are great at and might be willing to share as a part of a program. In particular, we want to focus on the unique, unusual, and even quixotic areas of experience that are unlikely to exist among their faculty and alumni. As an example, you may have a unique role (like Ronika Carter’s role as Corporate Counsel for the WTA Tour) or an unusual case or practice (like Ray Dowd’s work in recovering art looted by Nazis). It may even be a non-legal skill or experience (like acting, gardening, or standup comedy?). In some ways, the odder the better. Your submissions may also inspire ideas for other programs focused on law students or for the larger membership. If you know of someone who has a unique experience or skill, you can also submit that information here and we will reach out to them to see if they are interested in submitting an RFP.
We will review all submissions on a rolling basis and reach out with any questions as we consider producing a program.
