Annual Seminars

Bench Bar Conference

The Dayton Bar Association Bench Bar Conference is the largest legal conference of the year in the Miami Valley, attracting over 200 attorneys and judges throughout the region. Held each November, the Bench Bar Conference has a loyal following and a great reputation as one of the most valuable CLE seminars offered in the region.  The Dayton legal community is very fortunate to have such a positive working relationship between these two groups and the Bench Bar Conference reinforces that positive bond. Multiple breakout sessions are offered and provide informative topics in different areas of practice and include legal and court updates.

Working with and For A Multi-Generational Workforce
Managers supervise employees ranging in age and interest from people who can't miss American Idol on television to those for whom the only real American Idol is FDR. In order to get the most from this multi-generational workplace it's important to begin by understanding some general traits that individuals in different age groups tend to share.  This session will review the main values and approaches for the four generations both in your firms and amongst your clients and discuss strategies and techniques to better meet the needs of the different generations as well as minimize workplace conflict.
