Please be advised that for the upcoming 2025 Spring Meeting, the receptions for New Associates and New Fellows will be combined into a single reception on Sunday night. This change is due to the off-site dinner, which is typically held on Tuesday, now will take place on Monday night.
Although the video below reflects previous meetings where the New Associates and Fellows had separate receptions, you may still find other information in the video helpful.
