General Council Annual Meeting date and location change approved

The NJSBA board of trustees voted March 9 to move the date and location of the General Council annual meeting to May, to coincide with the association’s Annual Meeting in Atlantic City.

The meeting will take place on May 16 at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. General Council members who attend the General Council meeting only will not be charged a registration fee. The Annual General Council election will still take place in October.

The General Council makes recommendations to the associations Board of Trustees on matters affecting the membership and the legal community at large. It includes leaders of the association, New Jersey State Bar Foundation, and county and specialty bar associations.

NJSBA Board of Trustees introduces budget

The New Jersey State Bar Association Board of Trustees introduced an $11.6 million draft general operating budget for the organization for the 2018-2019 fiscal year at their March 9 meeting.

The budget reflects $11.665 million in projected revenue and nearly equivalent that in project expenses. Among other things, it continues a program that provides new attorneys free membership in their first year of admittance, and half-priced dues in the second year.

The board’s action is the first step in a two-part process. The budget will come back to the board for final approval in June.
