President's Message

Dear Distinguished Members of the Bench and Bar:

It is with great pride and excitement that I am writing about the Alabama Lawyers Association (ALA). ALA is the largest legal organization in the state dedicated exclusively to the fellowship and professional advancement of minority lawyers. This year marks ALA's 35th Anniversary, and the events planned for the next few months are designed to commemorate this significant year for the organization.

ALA members will gather from May 31 to June 2, 2008, in Cancun, Mexico for the Spring Retreat. The interest in this program so far has been overwhelming, and we are expecting this retreat to be one of the most successful in ALA's history. Additionally, our Annual Meeting this year will take place in Birmingham from September 19 to 21, 2008, at the Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa. Please join us for both of these events. By doing so, you will have the advantages of obtaining CLE credits, meeting members who serve in the Judiciary, networking with other minority lawyers, and participating in programs which are designed to generate funds in support of ALA's law student internship program. Please visit ALA's website, www.ala-lawyers.org, to obtain CLE, registration, and travel information.

If you have been a member of ALA in recent years, please take this opportunity to download and complete an application form, and submit it with your annual dues. If you have not yet joined ALA, please accept this invitation to become a member of this meaningful organization. You may download an application form and submit it with your dues.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Very truly yours,
Elisabeth French
President, Alabama Lawyers Association
