Participation is flexible. Seasoned and new practitioners are welcomed. October 16 theme is “Lessons Learned From Rookies and Veterans”. Come ready to share stories about things that worked; things that didn’t go so well; and/or things that had surprising outcomes. Hosts rotate each quarter. Co-chairs Cindy Alm, Lou Chang, and Chuck Hurd, ADR Section of HSBA, will be the first hosts, and they have a nice venue lined up. Parking is available in the building for a flat fee after 5pm. Refreshments will be provided.
