Greetings from the New Section Chair
By Greetings Administrative Law Section Members –
It is my honor to serve this year as chair of the Administrative Law Section that has provided me with collegiality and useful information throughout the years. There is no doubt that this coming year will continue to be an opportunity to further refine our ability to counsel creatively, develop new skills, and pivot for our clients in challenging times. It is my hope that our section will continue its robust level of discussion and content with committee reports, discussion boards, blog posts and CLEs. I also hope that we can reach out to our colleagues newer to practice to provide both formal and informal mentorship opportunities, learning as much from them as we teach.
Noteworthy upcoming events for our section include: Joint Government and Public Sector/Administrative Law Legislative Review CLE on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at the Bar Center in Cary (and with a virtual option); joint section networking and socializing opportunities (TBD); our Spring Reception at the Bar Center in Cary on March 24, 2022, at 5 p.m.; and our 2022 Admin Law Section Annual Meeting and CLE the next day, March 25, 2022. Spoiler alert: At the March events, we plan to acknowledge and honor several important colleagues in our field whose contributions to our work and to the public we protect have been invaluable. Mark your calendars now!
If any of you have interest in committee work, contributing to publications, or areas of interest that have not been addressed, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Lastly, a gentle reminder to please renew your membership by July 31, 2021, tomorrow.
You can renew online here: www.ncbar.org/renew.
I look forward to continuing my professional growth with all of you and value all of your contributions to our dynamic field of law.
Warm regards,
Nahale Freeland Kalfas
