President's Message February 2024 OCWLA President Caroline Djang

Happy February OCWLA Members!


The OCWLA Board met last month for its annual retreat, and we are energized and enthusiastic about the upcoming year! Our Board is excited to plan a year of MCLE programming, networking opportunities and events. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or anyone on the Board if you have suggestions or comments about what events you would like to see on our calendar for this year.

 

If you or your organization would like to become an OCWLA Annual Sponsor this year, we have a wide range of sponsorship opportunities available. Please review our sponsorship packet here. Our sponsorships come with valuable benefits and include tickets to many of our signature events, including our upcoming Annual Wine Event, which will be held in mid-March at an exciting new venue. Stay tuned!

 

Next week, we will co-host with Mommy, Esq. our complimentary Galentine’s Day Coffee the morning of February 14th. Please join us for free coffee and breakfast on Valentine’s Day and network with some great lawyers and professionals. I hope to see you there, or at another one of our many upcoming events!

 

Warmly,

Caroline
