Section 7 of the State’s updated Order lists Legal Services as an exempt “Critical” Business. Once again, we ask that you please conduct your business responsibly and safely.

As a reminder, the BCBA Offices will remain closed until further notice. Current restrictions are challenging our traditional interactions, but we will be utilizing our technology to maintain connections and engage with our Membership. The BCBA will continue to offer its high quality CLEs during this time via Zoom. Please visit the BCBA Calendar for more information. If you reserved a conference room during this time, please contact Kyle to reschedule. On behalf of the BCBA, I once again extend our wishes for Health and Safety to you, your families, loved ones and colleagues. We thank you for your professional commitment to your clients and community during these unprecedented times.

As always, please contact me at Jlorenz@dietzedavis.com if I can be of any assistance or if you have any helpful suggestions.

Stay Healthy and Safe! - BCBA President Jennifer Lorenz
