Lawyer Pilots Bar Association – LPBA
Benefits of Membership
A Message From 2010-2011 LPBA President Charlie Finkel
Welcome to the Lawyer Pilots Bar Association, an international non-profit association of individuals who share a common interest in aviation, aviation safety and the law.
The Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association is an organization born fifty-one years ago thanks to the work of a group of prominent aviation attorneys who were looking to create an association of fellow attorneys who also happened to be aviators. From those humble beginnings, the association has grown into what it is today, an organization with members in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Most, but not all, are attorneys. Many, but not all, are pilots. If you share our interest in aviation and would like to join a great group of men and women who share your interest, please join us.
In addition to the opportunity to get to know lots of people who share your interest in aviation, there are several benefits that you will receive as a member. First and foremost is the Lawyer Pilots Bar Association Journal, a periodical published four times each year featuring articles on recent developments in aviation law and on specific issues of interest to attorneys and/or pilots. Some of that material is published on this website. Take a look. You will be impressed.
In addition, the organization meets twice a year at some of the most beautiful and unique locations in North America. The meetings section of the website contains pictures from prior events as well as information on upcoming events. We are constantly looking for new and interesting places to spend a few days together.
Our 2011 Winter Meeting will take place at the famous La Costa Resort in San Diego County, California. The upcoming Summer Meeting will be at the fabulous Coure d’Alene, Idaho Resort. This November we are co-sponsors with the National Transportation Safety Board Bar Association for a meeting in Washington, D.C., where the closing dinner shall take place at the National Air and Space Museum, giving attendees a one time opportunity to enjoy its sights and sounds.
While a primary purpose of the meetings is the continuing legal education of the attending members, this is an organization for the entire family. The attendance of spouses and children is strongly encouraged. There are activities for members such as golf and tennis. We have had spot landing contests at prior meetings and even a tandem parachuting activity at one meeting. The meetings provide a great family vacation combined with professional education for the members.
The cost to join us is a modest $119.00 per year. You can apply online or you can print out a membership application and send it together with a check for the dues to Lawyer Pilots Bar Association, P.O. Box 1510, Edgewater, MD 21037. You can also fax the application to (410) 571-1780. If you have any questions, please call our Executive Director, Karen Griggs at (410) 571-1750.
We look forward to having you join us as a member and at our meetings. I have been a member of LPBA for over 30 years, and my wife Linda and I have been regular attendees at the meetings for at least 15 years. We have been to some great locations and met some wonderful people. Join, attend and become a part of a great organization. See you soon.
