Committees & Sections

The CCBA offers a number of committees that work together to offer social and educational forums to our members.  Join one of our committees today and see how fun it can be to work with good people to make a difference.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Be a part of all the fun things happening at the CCBA! This committee orchestrates everything from the Barrister's Ball to quarterly Social Hours to our now annual Holiday Party. We're always looking for enthusiastic people to come on board and help. To join this committee contact Lisa Darco at the CCBA office - 360.695.5975

HEARSAY COMMITTEE:  The Hearsay is the flagship magazine of the Clark County Bar Association. Acclaimed worldwide (or at least in our local area), Hearsay features articles and profiles written by and of interest to our local attorney community. We're always looking for creative people to write for us but if that's not your thing, there are lots of ways you can contribute! We invite you to come to a meeting and bring ideas for interesting articles, suggest fascinating people for us to profile, or help us out with enticing new advertisers! The Hearsay committee will be the one meeting in your month that you truly look forward to attending. We meet the first Thursday of each month via Zoom and quarterly in person. Contact Lisa Darco at the CCBA office for more information! 360.695.5975

CLE COMMITTEE: The CCBA has an amazing CLE Program but those things don't put themselves together! We have a very dedicated committee that brainstorms ideas and speakers to keep the programs interesting and relevant. Contact the CCBA for more information. 360.695.5975

DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE: The purpose of DEI committee is to increase diversity of the CCBA members and explore ways to address equity and inclusion within our legal community. We recognize diversity in all its forms is necessary to ensure the integrity of the legal profession and to effectively champion justice. Contact Deb Wechselblatt for more information.
