• Erin Gable floated the idea for "a retreat to brainstorm ideas and invite various members of the bench, representative from large and small firms and representatives for the committees for the bar association.  If we get them "off site" for a couple of hours - we might come up with some real innovative ideas (plus buy in)."

• Ginina asked about getting our committee to lead efforts within the community. Perhaps community leaders/community organization requests should guide us? Maybe one annual in the community volunteer event?
