TIPS Virtual Midyear Meeting February 17–19, 2021

TIPS continued the successful virtual meeting experience with the 2021 ABA Virtual Midyear Meeting February 17–19, 2021. The virtual format worked particularly well for the business meetings and allowed for increased attendance at many of the meetings, especially for members with overlapping meetings. While we all hope and are planning to be physically together in 2021, the important work and business of the Section continues in the virtual format as we all improve our multi-device Zoom skills and Zoom backgrounds. Many of our Standing Committees, Task Forces, General Committees, Publication Boards, Fellows, and Council met during the Midyear Meeting, advancing the work of the Section and planning for the coming year, as well as the next year. The expansion of virtual networking events and activities continued as TIPSters enjoyed the lively and very entertaining comedy of Chris Strait during the traditional Networking Reception timeslot on Wednesday afternoon of the meeting. The importance of sharing some lighthearted time with our colleagues was highlighted during this event, and we certainly appreciated the opportunity to laugh and enjoy this entertainment together.
