Join us for the Specialty Section Volunteer & Training Meeting for 2018! This will be a mandatory training meeting for those who are interested in chairing a Specialty Section for the first time. For those of you coming back from last year, feel free to join us for a refresher course and share your experience. We will discuss all duties and responsibilities for section chairs/co-chairs and will be training on how to post and send events on the OCPA website.  We would like to have at least 2 volunteers for each section.  Please note that we welcome student members to volunteer as co-chairs.

Available Sections for Chairing/Co-Chairing: 

  • Bankruptcy Section (open)
  • Corporate Section/In-House (open for a co-chair)
  • Criminal Section (open)
  • Employment/Labor Section (open)
  • Estate Planning/Probate/Elder Law Section (currently have 1 volunteer, need co-chair)
  • Family Law Section (open)
  • Health Care Section (open)
  • Immigration Section (currently have 1 volunteer, need co-chair)
  • Litigation Section (currently have 1 volunteer, need co-chair)
  • Real Estate Section (open)

What do Section Chairs and 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 – Invite an attorney or other expert to speak on a specific, relevant topic. We can help you find speakers as well. Select an interesting and applicable topic for MCLE credit and find a meeting time that works best for the speaker.

2.  Pick a time and location for the meeting – We have some legal service providers that offer to host meetings or you can host at your company office or law firm. Most meetings are held in the evening from 6pm to 7pm, and occasionally over a lunch hour from 12pm-1pm.

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 collect money as necessary, hand out MCLE/NALA forms and speaker evaluations. Provide the hosting vendor an opportunity to speak for a few minutes about their legal services and any other promotions for their company. 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 Joi Randall Millett within 3 business days of the meeting.

*A light dinner will be served. 


Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting!


Thank you,

Joi Randall Millett, VP Administration
