Join us for the Specialty Section Volunteer Kick-Off & Training Meeting.  This will be a mandatory training meeting for those who are interested in participating.  We will discuss all the duties and responsibilities for section chairs/co-chairs and will be training on how to set-up events on the OCPA website.  I would like to have at least 2 volunteers for each section, but can try to accommodate more if necessary.  Note that student members are welcome to volunteer as co-chairs.

  • Bankruptcy Section (open)
  • Corporate Section/In-House (currently have 2 volunteers but another volunteer ok)
  • Criminal Section (need co-chair)
  • Employment/Labor Section (need co-chair)
  • Estate Planning/Probate/Elder Law Section (currently have 2 volunteers, another volunteer ok)
  • Ethics Section (currently have 2 volunteers)
  • Family Section (open)
  • Health Care Section (open)
  • Immigration Section (open)
  • Intellectual Property Section (currently have 2 but another volunteer ok )
  • Litigation Section (currently have 2 volunteers but another volunteer ok)
  • Real Estate Section (need co-chair)
  • Technology Section (need co-chair)

What do Section Chairs/Co-Chairs do? The goal is to hold at least one meeting per quarter and no more than one per month. Here are the basics:

1.  Find a speaker & select a topic – Do you know of any interesting attorneys? We can help you find speakers as well. Select an interesting and relevant topic for MCLE credit, find a meeting time that works best for the speaker.

2.  Pick a time and location for the meeting – We have several legal service providers that offer to host meetings or you can host at your company office or law firm. Most meetings are held at lunch 12-1 or evenings 6-7.

3.  Registration - Track meeting RSVP’s and payment via the OCPA website and follow-up with attendees as necessary.

4.  Prior to meeting – E-mail the speaker handout to all attendees to print ahead of time, prepare all required forms for the meeting (i.e. attendee roster & sign-in sheets, speaker evaluations, MCLE/NALA forms).

5.  At the meeting – Assist attendees at the registration table by having them sign-in and collecting money as necessary, handout MCLE/NALA forms and speaker evaluations.  Introduce the speaker and then thank the speaker & present the speaker gift.

6.  After the meeting – Prepare and submit post-meeting summary, final attendee headcount, any money collected and meeting forms to Lorena Hughes within 5 business days of the meeting.

Thank you,

Lorena Hughes, VP Administration
