A View from the Chair - December 2009
If you practice
personal injury law, insurance law, construction and surety law,
workers’ compensation law or you need to keep current in these
areas to help you, your practice, your firm and your clients.
WE WANT YOU and YOU NEED US.
We want you to have access to the best publications, newsletters,
website, blog and CLE. We want you and your firm to be able to network
throughout New York with
fellow attorneys, insurance professionals and be on the forefront of
what is going on in the state, the courts, and the legislature.
It’s the end of the year and it’s the time to renew your

those who have been a member, you know the advantages of membership. For
those who have never been a member, join and you find out what you have
been missing. Please take the time now and renew and/or

As the year comes to a close I wish to
thank, Lisa Berrittella on chairing the Law School for Claims Professionals program. This was a particular tough
year and Lisa did a marvelous job in putting an excellent program
together. Thanks also to our local chairs, Shawn Martin, Liz Fitzpatrick, Ed Flink, and George Skandalis. You all were a big help.
Thanks to Dennis Brady, Shawn
Downes and Mike Tromello for
the great job they did in hosting the Fall Reception at Donovans last
month. We had a fabulous turnout of attorneys, judges and legislators. A
wonderful time was had by all. Thanks also goes to our district
reps, AJ Smith, Jim Keefe, Jim
O'Connor and Nelson
Timken for their help in sponsoring this
event.
