AMERICAN BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY ATTORNEYS
Annual Conference June 7- 9, 2012 San Diego
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 William F. McMurry President - American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys (ABPLA)
As President, my goal is to increase the public’s awareness and appreciation for selecting a board-certified attorney similar to the way a patient prefers a board-certified physician. I will work to establish the ABPLA as a standard of excellence for attorneys specializing in professional negligence liability. I look forward to the future growth of the ABPLA and I am committed to increasing its valuable contribution to the public and the professional negligence bar.
To further this goal, I invite you to join the Diplomates of the ABPLA for the annual meeting June 7-9 , 2012 at the Hilton in San Diego at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. Our dynamic speakers will highlight the changes happening in our profession and inspire you in improving your professional skills and legal expertise. I could not be more thrilled about the line-up of this year’s speakers and believe you will find it one of the most valuable meetings you attend all year. I want to ensure we all return to work not just with CLE credit hours but with information we use in everyday practice.
Significant interaction and discussion make this meeting invaluable. It is not often people from both sides of the bar have a chance to share openly. This year our meeting is designed to encourage open feedback, which is a vital tool for professional growth.
I encourage you to bring family and guests to explore the city as well. San Diego is renowned for its idyllic climate, 70 miles of pristine beaches and an array of world-class family attractions which include the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World San Diego and Legoland California. San Diego offers an expansive variety of activities, appealing to guests of all ages making this a great opportunity to have a working vacation. Your participation in the 2012 annual meeting is important to the legal profession’s development and the growth of the ABPLA.
If you are interested in attending the annual Seminar, or learning more about becoming board certified by the APBLA, please contact Reeve McNamara, Executive Director at Phone: (404) 919-4009 or reeve@abpla.org. I sincerely hope that you will join us in making the 2012 ABPLA Meeting a success. We look forward to welcoming you to San Diego.
