Catching Up
I am catching up a dry spell of posts this week. I attended the NY State Bar Association's Labor & Employment Section's Annual Meeting in Longboat Key, FL earlier this week. For you weather geeks, you may recall that the hurricane watch for Hurricane Wilma issued by the National Hurricane Center included Longboat Key in the "watch" area. Suffice to say, many of the attendees bailed out at the last moment, once the watch was issued. As a former road warrior, I was there - I wasn't about to let a little hurricane stop me... In any event. We experienced only 50-60 mph winds, downed trees and a lot of rain - certainly faring much better than folks in the southern part of the state. While most of the attendees did not show, those that did were able to participate in engaging sessions. The dozen or so of us that were there were able to really delve into the material. In addition, the NYSBA staff and leadership did a yeoman's job of making what could have been a disaster a fabulous event. Kudos!
