Three days of enjoyable social gatherings, excellent CLE, and endless networking opportunities begin with this separately-ticketed luncheon recognizing the finest traditions of professionalism and public service.

The luncheon will include a presentation of the “President’s Award” to individuals who have made particularly noteworthy contributions to the work of The Missouri Bar during the past year.
