Rise and Shine
Thursday, December 04, 2008
The Chapter held a members-only networking breakfast on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at the offices of Calfee Halter & Griswold in Cleveland.  The purpose of the members-only networking breakfasts is to bring local FBA members together four times a year to market themselves and their practices to each other.  We provide an informal opportunity for members to introduce themselves, explain their practice and network with other federal practitioners in the northern district of Ohio. After each breakfast, members have the opportunity to continue the exchange of dialogue by participating in an online discussion group.  This online discussion group is open exclusively to FBA-NDOC networking breakfast participants.
