The Annual Summer Social took place at Del Campo on August 1 during which members and non-members enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres, reconnecting with friends and colleagues, and toasting to the summer… and the completion of Chambers and LDOY submissions! Another highlight was the raffle hosted by the Summer Social sponsors: Associated Luxury Hotels International, ON24, The Deal Pipeline, and the Association of Corporate Counsel.
During the social, attendees recapped their summer highlights, favorite summer activities, and lessons learned.
“Enjoy the moment. Don’t spend time thinking ‘I’ll be happy when…’ but be happy now. What a great summer it has been, and it’s not over yet!” —Mandy Warfield, Senior Business Development Manager, Akin Gump
“Something I’ve learned this summer: July and August used to be the slow months – not so much anymore! Thank the gods and heavens above for the LMA Summer Social – a well needed break from reality with friends and colleagues! Something I love doing in the summer: Nothing gets me going more than the good ole’ fashioned summer barbeque – friends, music, and the sweet blessings & strength of ice-cold summer cocktails. You should all drop by sometime. Cheers!” —Ken Gary, Publisher, The National Law Journal and Legal Times
“Two years post my DC arrival, I am still having fun exploring the city and seeing the sights. My summer highlights include running in Rock Creek Park and outdoor music.” —Fazlin Essa, Practice Group Administrator, Crowell & Moring
“I had a great time at my first Capital Chapter event! I just moved here from NYC and it was nice to connect with former colleagues and make new connections. Looking forward to attending more great programming in the DC area this year.” —Azeema Mohaideen, Business Development Manager, McDermott Will & Emory
