The Agenda for the 25th Annual Event will vary slightly from years past. With many upgrades for this 25th Annual event, we are thrilled to announce that our golfers will once again be able to enjoy one of Houston's premier golf courses, Wildcat Golf Club. Wildcat Golf Course is located at 12000 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX 77045. Wildcat Golf Club is the preferred golf club of Houston’s professional sports teams, with two spectacular championship 18-hole golf courses, The Lakes & The Highlands. Conveniently located in Houston, Texas. Wildcat Golf Club is a quick trip from the Galleria, Medical Center, and all Downtown Houston attractions. Both courses feature elevation changes up to 100 feet, providing spectacular views of Houston’s Downtown skyline and the NRG Stadium complex. Wildcat Golf Club combines links-style layouts with Texas Hill Country topography, Houston hospitality, and the fun, competitive spirit of Houston’s sports teams. Designed by renowned golf architect Roy Case, Wildcat Golf Club is like no other golf experience in the Southeast Texas area.

However, due to rising costs across the board and to ensure the continued quality and standard of excellence that you have come to expect at our signature spa event, we will be instituting this minimal charge. We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience for all participants, and we believe that this small fee will enable us to do just that. For those who are familiar with Trellis Spa, you know that this opportunity still represents a tremendous value.

1.00 hours CLE TX (includes 1.00 hours Ethics Credits, TX)
Effective and Ethical Advocacy as Demonstrated by our Best Presidential Persuaders.
Explanation of Topic: There are many ways to effectively advocate a position, and our greatest presidents each had his own way of getting the job done---through their integrity and unique powers of persuasion. In this presidential election year, the presentation will cover the specifics of what made George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan such stellar persuaders during the years they led our nation. Their high integrity and sound communication approaches are certainly worthy of emulation by today’s lawyers.
Special Thank You to our Marquee Event Sponsor: BoyarMiller
