We are excited to spend this weekend with you in the nearby District of Columbia, where we will enjoy gathering together for a guided tour of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, watch college basketball conference tournaments at Capital City Brewing Company and enjoy a delicious Sunday breakfast at the Elephant & Castle Pub. We will stay at the JW Marriott Hotel, a venue with award-winning service and an exceptional location, situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, near the White House and the National Mall.
The Washington Getaway with the AABA is the perfect time to bring new energy and ideas to your legal career by enhancing your relationships with other members of the bar while having lots of fun!
We will have an educational program during brunch on Sunday morning that provides timely legal knowledge.
We hope you will join me and your fellow AABA members as we build friendships and create memories together!
