Don't miss the 56th GDLA Annual Meeting at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida from June 15-18.

Kick off Thursday on The Breakers' Ocean Lawn with our traditional Welcome, Y'all Reception/Dinner sponsored by BAY Mediation & Arbitration Services.

President-Elect Pamela Lee of Swift Currie, Atlanta, has planned a terrific educational program for Friday and Saturday mornings. We're especially excited for the federal judges' panel, which was the brainchild of the late Jeff Ward. It was to have taken place in 2020 when he was GDLA President-Elect, but COVID had other plans.

Enjoy Friday and Saturday afternoons at the poolside hospitality bungalows thanks to GDLA Platinum Sponsors ESi and Collision Specialists. Friday night is the President's Reception where we'll honor Dart Meadows, Balch & Bingham, Atlanta, for an unprecedented two years of leadership as GDLA President. On Saturday evening we'll say farewell at the Closing Reception/Dinner at the Beach Club sponsored by GDLA Platinum Sponsor FORCON.
