Section engagement remains a top priority. Having previously been active for years in the CBA-BC Employment Law Section, I have long known the benefit of engagement with the local bar and the satisfaction that comes with helping members stay on top of legal developments. After moving from a national firm in 2018 to working in-house with local government, I realized more than ever the importance of staying connected and collaborating with a diverse group of practitioners from across jurisdictions. The following year, I joined the national Section Executive for what has been an invaluable experience which has fulfilled my desire to be more engaged with colleagues in the practice of law.
So perhaps you’ll consider getting more involved too! We have lots of opportunities to do so this year, including joining one of our committees or assisting ongoing projects such as updating the Pandemics and the Workplace guide or helping to develop new tools like the Covid Alert App factsheet.
Thank you for continuing to be involved in the Section – your participation is what makes this worthwhile. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and I hope you are as well. If you have questions, want to share an idea or give us feedback, please reach out. Check out our essay contest winner below and learn more ways to get involved in the Section!
