NBLSA Joint Board Retreat
Dallas, Texas June 14-16, 2013 "Servant-leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly." --M. Scott Peck

Dear National and Regional Board Members, The time of year has come again for NBLSA to host its annual Joint Board Retreat! As the first national event of the new term, we are excited to bring together the National Executive Board and the six regional boards to plan for the upcoming year. We hope that each of you leaves with a better sense of effective leadership, professionalism, knowledge of the innerworkings of the organization, and an excitement for the future of NBLSA. This year’s retreat will be held in Dallas, Texas at SMU Dedman School of Law and the Aloft Downtown Dallas on June 14-16. We will, once again, bring you informative workshops, interactive sessions with our Advisory Board, and a leadership development panel. We formally invite you to participate in this year’s Joint Board Retreat. We are excited to have each of you as we continue to evolve the legacy on the Road to 50!
Sincerely,
Victoria Walker Chair, 2013-2014
