The Jacksonville Bar Association’s Board of Governors returned from the holidays to hold its first meeting of the new year Jan. 6. Items discussed included the success of the recent “Bench and Bar” party and the Holiday Project. Plans are already being discussed for next year’s “Bench and Bar” to develop a special event to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Attention was also given to the coming months as the JBA will be involved with the Diversity Summit in February and Law Week in May.
