We hope you will join us
for our Member Appreciation Day. We will be hosting two FREE CLEs
for RCBA members, presenting two distinguished awards, and passing of the gavel.
12:00 - 1:00 pm | Great
Minds Think Differently (1.0 Elimination of Bias CLE
credit applied for)
One of our greatest strengths is the diversity of how our brains think and
how we each approach and experience the world around us. Neurodiversity
celebrates that strength and diversity among all of us, including those who have
cognitive differences such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual
disabilities, and mental health disabilities. This CLE will dive into the
concept of neurodiversity, and how we can accept and support our clients,
friends, family members, and colleagues who think differently.
Presenter: Haley L. Moss, Esq., Haley Moss LLC
1:00 - 2:00 pm | Grounding Your Practice in Wellness - Bringing Your Best Self (1.0 Standard CLE

The demands of our practice can bring us
out of balance. During this session we will talk about simple ways to right
yourself and right your legal practice.
