The > seminar is a continuing-legal-education seminar, but is geared toward lawyers and > nonlawyers who are interested in running and participating in effective real-life > meetings. The instructor is Brian Melendez, past president of the Hennepin County > Bar Association and a member of the American Institute of Parliamentarians and > National Association of Parliamentarians, who has served as parliamentarian for more > than a dozen organizations. Last year's participants ranged from attorneys > representing public bodies to volunteers active in nonprofit, political, and > religious organizations. > > The seminar will be held on Friday 22 October 2004 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 > a.m. at the Hennepin County Bar Association, 390 Minnesota Law Center, 600 Nicollet > Mall, Minneapolis (ph. 612.752.6600). The Association has applied for 3.0 hours of > continuing-legal-education credit. The cost is $110 for bar members, $135 for lawyer > nonmembers. (A special rate of $25 is available for nonlawyers.) To register, or for > more information, please contact Carol Berg (e/m [EMAIL PROTECTED], ph. > 612.752.6612) or Brian Melendez (e/m [EMAIL PROTECTED], ph. 612.766.7309). REMINDERS: 1.
