2022 LAW SEMINAR PRESENTATION PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS - CLOSED
Fellows of the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL) and planning chairs of the seminar invites you to submit a session proposal for the 2022 Community Association Law Seminar, February 9-12, at the La Quinta Resort & Club, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel in La Quinta, California.
2020 was a challenging year that left a lasting impact on the way we live, work, and interact with one another. The community association law industry has been faced with client issues surrounding new ways to use technology, conduct business, manage, and govern community associations.
The more than 600 expected law seminar attendees; primarily community association lawyers, will be looking for cutting-edge education programs providing substantive, expert-level education sessions:
- Do you have a new way of tackling a common challenge?
- Is your practice taking a unique approach to a topical situation?
- Do you have forward-thinking perspectives on legal issues?
- Do you have a creative solution to new issues impacting the industry?
CAI's Annual Law Seminar provides a unique learning opportunity to discuss emerging trends and legal issues important to the practice of community association law—as well as excellent opportunities for professional networking.
Submit a presentation proposal to showcase your knowledge of the evolving practice of community association law.
