Brown Bag Luncheon Meetings
Our Chapter is located in numerous counties surrounding Philadelphia, and because of the locale of the various firms, we hold monthly Brown Bag meetings for the convenience of our members. The meetings are currently held in Bucks County (1st Wednesday of each month), Montgomery County (2nd Wednesday), and Chester County (3rd Tuesday). At these informal luncheon meetings, discussions are held and ideas shared in an effort to further educate and inform our members.
