Surprisingly, a recent survey revealed that a staggering 71% of meetings were deemed unproductive.

Watch the webinar and explore the best practices that will revolutionize your fundamental meeting processes and empower you to tailor these strategies to suit your specific committees.
Event Speakers
Mr. Dave Sommers
Executive Director
Omaha Bar AssociationTrained as an attorney and still recovering from his years as a political fundraiser in Washington, D.C., Dave Sommers has served as Executive Director of the Omaha Bar Association for 11 years. A “bar junkie” through and through, Dave doesn’t consider his job work, which is good because he wears all the staff hats of the 1500-member Omaha Bar Association other than Lawyer Referral Service Director. Webmaster, accountant, social media creator, newsletter editor, event organizer (and caterer), chief hype officer, podcast host and producer, video editor, and janitorial staff—these are just a few of the roles that keep Dave busy on a daily basis. Dave’s proudest accomplishment is outkicking his coverage and marrying local rock star Family Law attorney, Hannah Sommers.
