Speed Networking for Young Lawyers and Law Students
You’ve probably heard of “Speed Dating,” but what about “Speed Networking”? Young lawyer and law student attendees will meet one-on-one with several seasoned environment, energy, and resources law practitioners over the course of an hour. This is the place to network and seek general advice from your colleagues and potential mentors and to discuss Section activities and initiatives that may be of interest. To participate in this speed networking event as a “guide,” law student, or young lawyer, please indicate your interest when registering. Questions should be directed to Yumeka Brown, Program and Membership Coordinator, at Yumeka.Brown@americanbar.org.
Public Service Project
Join us at the Paul I. Miller Elementary School in transforming the school’s grounds into a tranquil oasis for students and neighbors. Section volunteers will work with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) and school volunteers to plant 6' to 12' native trees and to build pathways through the landscaped areas. KIB, a leading, recognized nonprofit with over thirty years of experience, will provide the tools and training. Once the trees are planted, the organization will enlist its Youth Tree Team to care for them for two years. Participants should dress casually and bring work gloves. This activity is part of the Section's One Million Trees Project, which has the goal to plant one million trees by 2014. For more information, see the One Million Trees Project page. To volunteer for this public service project, please indicate your interest when you register.
