<p class="MsoNormal">Separate than the rest of the program is a discovery practicum on Wednesday the 15<sup>th</sup>. It is $125 a person and will be a great program presented by CLCers Luis Prats, Tim Ford, and Lauren Catoe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of those attending the practicum or other first time attendees to the Forum should plan to attend the Wednesday Networking event.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are new to the Forum or to construction law, or if the Midwinter Meeting is the first Forum meeting you have attended in a while, be sure to attend the
<b>New Attendee and Member Networking Event</b> from 5:00-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15. You’ll meet the Forum’s leaders, hear about ways to get involved, and learn about the various Forum Divisions that focus on areas of specialization in construction
law and provide members with opportunities for learning, networking, and fellowship. You’ll also get to know other new attendees and seasoned Forum members who want to help you get the most out of your Forum membership.
<o:p></o:p></p>
