Annual Meeting <strong>2009</strong> – June 19-20, Inverary Inn, Baddeck<br />

The <strong>2009</strong> Annual Meeting probed the practicalities of a serious theme: “The Business of Law During Times of Uncertainty,” finding<br />

room for opportunity and good news amid the challenges of the new economic reality. Gerald J. McConnell QC, of Etruscan Resources<br />

Inc., tackled the topic in his keynote address, while panels explored everything from succession planning, stress management and<br />

bankruptcy to fraud in the current global context. The mood stayed light with a number of leisure activities, such as a sunrise hike<br />

led by new President Ron Creighton QC, culinary demonstrations and a riveting performance by Cape Breton’s own Raylene Rankin.<br />
