| Greetings TBPA members!
I can’t believe that it
is almost September and the kids are officially back to school. It seems like
the Summer just flew by. A big welcome to all our new members!
On July 25 ,2018, board members Valerie Cisco and Katie Turley
participated in HCBA Cornhole Contest benefiting Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
Although the event was eventually rained out, Valerie and Katie played well and
we received positive feedback from TBPA’s involvement in this event.
The seminar committee has been hard at work on our annual seminar
which is scheduled for October 5, 2018. You can find all the details for the
seminar on our website. If you have not registered, please do so as soon as
possible as space is limited. This is going to be an amazing event and I hope
to see all of you there.
Our director of Certification, Margo Hirons is planning an
information session for those interested in certification. If you are
interested in a study group or more information,
please contact Margo at certification@tbpa.org.
On October 20, 2018, The University of South Florida’s Mock
Trial Club is hosting its 3rd annual Matador Invitational and are in
need of Paralegals and Attorneys to be judges. If you are interested in volunteering
please contact Charissa Bloom, USF Mock Trial Tournament Director at cbloom1@mail.usf.edu for more information.
President Elect, Barbara O’Shaughnessy and myself will be
attending the NFPA Annual Convention on behalf of TBPA. The convention will
take place from October 25-28, 2018 and is being held in Seattle, Washington. We
will provide updates from the Convention upon our return.
As always if you have any suggestions, ideas for speakers,
updates, or information on any subject that you feel might be of interest to
other paralegals, please feel free to reach out to me at president@tbpa.org.
I hope to see you soon at one of our events! Also, don’t forget to like us on Facebook!
Sincerely,
Erika L. Blackburn
