Description
Summary:The authors of this article served as presidents of the Alabama State Bar, the Connecticut Bar Association, the Florida Bar, and the New England Bar Association, associations with members ranging from 10,000 to 110,000. PROVIDE INFORMATION TO YOUR GOVERNING BODY AS SOON AS YOU CAN The Florida Bar ensured that its Board of Governors' voices could all be heard through different technological platforms. Any decisions made by leadership or by the executive committee were communicated in detail through a weekly e-mail update to the Board of Governors, which in turn allowed them to provide feedback to the leadership as well as to their constituent members. The Alabama State Bar had a biweekly informal video chat where it invited its Board of Bar Commissioners to exchange information, share best practices from around the state, and let the bar leaders know what the association office was doing in response to the pandemic.
