58th Biennial Convention - August 4-8, 2010 in TAMPA, Florida

It is not too late to register for the 58th Biennial Convention. Remember, every chapter is expected to send at least one delegate to Convention. Please email DJ Grida or ADJ White with any questions regarding convention. If you have already registered for convention, please let DJ Grida know your travel arrangements as soon as possible.

I have also copied a recent post on the Phi Alpha Delta Yahoo Group from Stephen J. Savva, who is the current International Advocate, as to why you should attend Convention.

single-best networking event PAD offers for law students and alumni to meet, share
information and create a nationwide list of contacts.

from each eligible law school and alumni chapter to attend.
