Mix It Up With Your NABL Colleagues
Enjoy a NABL-hosted Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening, October 12. Weather permitting, the reception will be outside overlooking the River Walk. Take the opportunity to visit and network with your peers while enjoying the Texas sunshine.
New This Year! Thursday Super Sessions
Two “super” sessions will run concurrently on Thursday.
Super Session 1: Pension Bond Disclosure In the wake of San Diego and New Jersey, and in response to heightened focus from the SEC on the quality of disclosure concerning state and local government defined benefit pension plans, NABL embarked on an ambitious and collaborative project to provide guidance on pension disclosure. Ken Artin will lead a panel of project participants to introduce and discuss the results of a year-long collaborative effort in the pension disclosure area.
Super Session 2: Tax History “A page of history is worth a volume of logic.” It’s as true in our kind of tax work as it was when Justice Holmes wrote it in New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, upholding the estate tax. Neil Arkuss and Rick Ballard, with Perry Israel moderating, will demonstrate this timeless verity by looking at today’s law of private activity bonds, political subdivisions, and arbitrage through the prism of history. There will be absolutely no ethics credit for this panel. Thursday Lunch Workshop attendees will enjoy a two-hour lunch break on their own. You’ll have a range of dining choices from restaurants in the Grand Hyatt San Antonio and on the famous River Walk. A local map of restaurant choices will also be provided to help attendees find the perfect luncheon spot.
New This Year! Thursday Evening Networking Beer & Wine Reception
This year, NABL will host an informal reception following the workshop sessions on Thursday evening to provide members a chance to mix and mingle over a drink before heading out to dinner.
Diversity Study Group Lunch
As part of its ongoing Diversity Initiative, NABL is hosting a Diversity Study Group Lunch on Thursday, October 13, to promote participation in NABL activities by culturally diverse lawyers. All NABL members interested in promoting NABL’s diversity initiative are welcome at this lunch. You must register to attend the Diversity Study Group Lunch.
