☀️ Recap: The 3rd Annual Award-Winning Summer Associate Breakfast ☀️
What a morning! Yesterday, the Richmond Bar Association hosted its 3rd Annual Summer Associate Breakfast at the beautiful Country Club of Virginia, and this year's event set a new attendance record with more than 80 guests, including 58 summer associates representing firms across the Richmond legal community.
The program kicked off with remarks from John Badman IV of Miles & Stockbridge, the exclusive sponsor of this wonderful event. We're so grateful for their continued partnership in welcoming the next generation of Richmond lawyers. Attendees also heard from RBA Executive Director Annie Holland and RBA President Ben Pace, who shared what makes the Richmond legal community such a special place to build a career.
We were especially honored to welcome current Virginia State Bar President Brett Marston, who joined us and offered his insights to the summer associates as they begin their journeys in the profession.
To every summer associate, firm, and member who attended: thank you for making this our biggest breakfast yet. This program is one of the highlights of our summer, and we're already counting down to next year! 👏
