Chair's Message to Membership

Welcome to the 2024-25 Antitrust Law Section Year!

I have the privilege of chairing the ABA Antitrust Law Section this year and leading the hundreds of volunteers and staff in the biggest and best community of antitrust and consumer protection, and data privacy professionals in the world.  This team will build on the successes of decades’ worth of leaders and members by continuing to provide great content and community to our members.

You will see some familiar offerings from the Section this year – the Fall Forum in November, for example, and, of course, the Spring Meeting in April.  But you will also see plenty of new features as well, such as in-person programs on #6continents, including a regional reception in Detroit! 

Of course, our volunteers and staff will produce content in other forms too, like articles in three periodicals (The Journal, The Magazine, The Source) and on the website, on-demand videos and webinars on your computer, and podcasts on your phone.  We will lead the community by commenting on proposed legislation and regulations around the globe, and engaging in other thought leadership.  And we will continue to improve the profession through mentoring and other great programs.  In other words, the Section will continue to offer way #morethanSpring. 

For all the details, find the Section and its leaders on various social media channels (LinkedIn Page, LinkedIn Group, X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Communities) or at ambar.org/antitrust.  But to take full advantage of all we have to offer and become a full-fledged participant in our community, be sure to become a member.  Thanks, and hope to see you at a Section event soon.
