  Join us for our last 2025 LISTSERV LIVE! 

  This is a virtual event to be held via Zoom on Thursday, December 11 from 9:00AM-10:00AM.  

  It’s the end of the year and the season of giving…why not help your MMLA friends by joining us for another fun and informative edition of Listserv LIVE! 

  • No theme; we are ending the year as we started with an open forum for MMLA members to discuss any municipal law issues or questions
  • Bring questions you may be stumped on, need to answer before the end of the year, or that you would normally post to the listserv.  This is an opportunity to discuss with colleagues and get/give live input.
  • If you don’t have a question, bring a story or a topic that you recently learned about that you think other municipal lawyers may appreciate.
  • This is also a forum to connect with colleagues – consider this our virtual end of year holiday breakfast!  Holiday attire optional.

  If you’ve tried to join the last few Listserv LIVE sessions and had technical difficulties, rest assured that we are taking steps to avoid similar issues in the future.

  Members can register for the event at the link below. Registration is encouraged for planning but not required.  A Zoom link will also be emailed out the morning of the event so even if you do not register you can drop in last minute for however long you are able!  

  Brought to you by the MMLA Outreach and New Attorney Committee.
