Since our last CLE Update the Committee met November16, 2001 in Tallahassee. In the meeting we discussed and planned our upcoming programs.

Please feel free to come and participate, newcomers are always welcome. Contact me for further information on meeting times, dates and places.

Upcoming Programs

     Our next CLE programs include a Recreational Boating, Waterway Management and the Environment on January 25, 2002 in Fort Myers, the Annual Public Interest Conference February 14-16, 2002 in Gainesville and a Wetland Regulation and Protection seminar scheduled for April 5, 2002 in Orlando. Mark your calendars now for these great programs. Please keep an eye out for the agendas and sign up information for these programs which will be circulated closer to the program date. You will also able to sign up for these programs directly via the web at our Section’s website www.eluls.org closer to the program date. Please check the website frequently for sign up information, program topics and scheduling changes.

     If you have any interest in participating in our CLE programs or if you have ideas for future programs please contact me at Mdiffenderfer@llw-law.com or by phone at (561) 640-0820 or come to a meeting.

Past Programs

All of our past programs are taped and the materials and audiotapes are available from the Florida Bar. So if you were unable to attend our programs the information for ordering audiotapes and course material is available on the Bar’s website at www.flabar.org or by calling 850-561-5600 x 6661.

It takes a great amount of energy and hard work to organize these programs for the Section and we always seek to address your comments. The programs could not be done without the immense dedication of the co-chairs that sign up to put the programs together, our Section Administrator Jackie Werndli and the ELULS CLE Committee co-chairs Jim Porter and Robert Fingar. Please provide us with your input and thoughts as the year progresses. We always need more help and like great ideas!
