ABA Governmental Affairs Director Thomas M. Susman spoke Nov. 29 at the annual State Legislative Workshop, a gathering of the members of the Governmental Relations Section of the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE). Susman and other Governmental Affairs Office staff attended the workshop, which is an opportunity for the section members to meet face to face with ABA staff as well as leaders from national organizations focusing on state issues. The GAO supported the founding of the NABE Governmental Relations Section almost 30 years ago.
