Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA - The Tech Bar)

The FCBA is at the forefront of the information and communications revolution. FCBA members come from a wide diversity of backgrounds and work on a constantly expanding range of practice areas, some of which did not exist a decade ago. This year, we are modernizing and refining the bar’s brand to reflect who we already are: a tech-forward organization ahead of the curve. We invite you to connect with us as we continue to work toward a robust, successful, inclusive future. fcba.org #FCBAconnected https://lnkd.in/d6X-XKT
