Fellows Events and Opportunities
COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
From 2016 Fellows Janeen Lofton and Miles Plaskett: "Both of us work in Miami and the U.S. Virgin Islands and so this natural disaster has hit home for us. We believe that there has not been adequate news reporting portraying the real devastation that is happening on those islands. They are in need of help, and as a group of 1,045+ Fellows Alumni, we believe that we together can make a difference in the lives of those struggling. We have chosen to partner with Tim Duncan, a St. Croix native, and his hurricane relief fund, 21 USVI Hurricane Help, as this relief effort specifically focuses on aiding those throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands."

FELLOWS SPEAKERS NEEDED: Bethesda, MD - November 1, 2017
Are you a law firm partner that has built your book of business in a unique or unusual way? Or, maybe you built your book in the usual way? Either way, we want to hear from partners that have been in the partnership for more than 5 years and would be open to sharing their best advice for building a strong book of business with other Fellows. The panel presentation will take place during the second meeting of the Sustainable Partnerships program, a program designed by LCLD Members Fannie Mae, Scripps, and Lockheed Martin to help law firm Fellows that are new to partnership to build the networks and skills essential to growing a strong book of business. The Sustainable Partnerships presentation will take place on November 1, at Lockheed Martin in Bethesda, Maryland. If you are interested, or need more information, please email Erin Hess at ehess@lcldnet.com.
