All Section Officers are encouraged to attend this session. We especially recommend Chairs and Chairs-Elect to attend. At this year's program, AALS President-Elect Melanie Wilson will share her theme for the 2025 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA. AALS Section Services Manager Shannon Leonard will review the 2024 Section Officer’s Planning Guide and answer questions you may have.
In addition, the AALS is delighted to honor the winner of the 7th Annual Section of the Year Award, the Section on Alternative Dispute Resolution.
