1. Due to the restrictions associated with the pandemic Corona Virus, BASIL will be postponing the seminar in April to a later date. Our current tentative date (pending availability of panelists, venue, and lifting of restrictions associated with Corona Virus) is on or about Friday, October 23. Further updates and announcements will be released as we get closer to the NEW Seminar date. We are thankful for all the hard work our panelists, organizers and membership volunteers have done to help facilitate our seminars. We plan on transferring all who have currently registered and paid for the BASIL seminar April date to the new tentative October date. If you need a refund because the new date won't work, please contact our Treasurer, Justin Farishon.
2. Given this situation we are also inviting the membership to take time to consider any questions or scenarios they may wish to submit to a member of the Executive Committee pertaining to one of the panel topics. This would give the panelists time to potentially incorporate the questions/scenarios/issues into the postponed presentation.
3. BASIL would remind all attorneys that everyone is still responsible for reporting your CLE hours if you are in a reporting year. Since BASIL won't be able to assist with providing CLE hours before the June reporting date we would encourage you to consider free online alternatives such as those offered by the MCLE Board at the following website: https://www.mcleboard.org/
4. NOTICE to BOARD OF DIRECTORS - The Board of Directors Meeting that was scheduled for the Annual Seminar will be postponed due to the reasons outlined above. We plan on rescheduling the Board of Director Meeting to coincide with the Summer Membership Meeting and Annual Election of Officers. We will announce a date later in the year when we have a better idea of what meeting restrictions may be in place. Keep a look out for a SAVE THE DATE for the Summer Membership Meeting and Board of Director Meeting - TBD.
If you have any other questions please reach out to a BASIL Executive Officer. Our emails are available in the membership directory.
Thank you for your patience as we travel these uncharted waters together.
Sincerely,
BASIL
