Calling all Solo Small Firm Section Members!
Are you looking for a way to become more involved in the Solo Small Firm Section? Well, now is your chance! The Solo Small Firm Section is accepting nominations (self-nominations) for the 2017-2018 Executive Council.
The Solo Small Firm Section is governed by a Council of 12 people and we are currently seeking applicants for the open Council positions. The Nominating Committee must submit a slate of candidates to the Secretary of the Section by April 3, 2017. The slate will be circulated among Section Members no later than April 15, 2017.
