Project Launches

FedMEETS Local Meetings are underway this Fall in cities across the United States. This is a new initiative this year as the FDCC plans smaller
networking events across the country to help keep members engaged between our larger meetings. These informal social gatherings are being organized so that FDCC members new and old can meet one another in person, reconnect as we exit the pandemic, and enjoy each another’s company and FDCC fellowship. The theme of these social gatherings is “The First Round is on the FDCC!” Chairpersons in participating cities are choosing dates and locations for these events, which will feature hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, and comradery.
It is hoped these gatherings will provide FDCC members a fun and convenient opportunity to see
one another in person after many years of remote work, Zoom court hearings and depositions, and practicing law by electronic means.
