This session will take on the form of a round tbale meeting and will report on the findings from the recently published Wellbeing Report of the IBA Professional Wellbeing Commission. Despite a growing body of research evidence on effective wellbeing interventions, the report's findings demonstrate that law firms often take a largely reactive approach to managing wellbeing issues. The session will look at an alternative strategy enabling them to move to a more engaged and proactive approach to workplace wellbeing. It will also look at the role that Bar Associations and other organisations involved in the legal profession can support law firms in adopting this new approach.

All Officers of Committees holding the role of Diversity & Inclusion are expected to attend.

All IBA officers of sections, committees and fora are invited to attend this Q&A session on how to be a successful officer, best-practices guides by fellow officers, and the opportunity to network with other committee officers.

• working with the IBA office and who the relevant contacts are
• general policies to be aware of
• conference planning
• special project planning
• budgets and funds
• communication with members, and;
• committee online presence.

Attendance is strongly recommended to all officers of IBA committees.
