Join us for the Center’s 44th Annual Celebration!
It’s that time of year again, when we gather together to catch up with peers, share stories and achievements, and gain insights from experts on moving forward. In times of economic turbulence, it's common for us as individuals to experience stress and let our health and financial systems fall by the wayside. That's why we're putting a spotlight on the crucial symbiotic relationship between taking care of our banks (financial health) and our tanks (physical and mental wellness) at this year's Celebration.
Join us on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at the DC Bar Pro Bono Center for an enlightening breakfast event as we take a moment to consider how imperative it is to prioritize both aspects of our well-being.
