NASBP Proudly Announces the Inauguration of the Attorney Advisory Council

NASBP is proud to announce the inauguration of an exciting new initiative—the NASBP Attorney Advisory Council (AAC). The AAC is comprised of eight lawyers with knowledge and experience in various relevant sectors of the industry, including contract and commercial surety, construction, and government contracts. The mission statement for the AAC provides as follows:

“The NASBP Attorney Advisory Council is constituted for the purpose of serving as a resource team to NASBP and providing substantive content to NASBP for articles, programs, and presentations on surety, government contracts, and construction law topics for the betterment of the surety industry.”

The eight esteemed lawyers who serve on the AAC provide articles for the various NASBP publications, including Pipeline and Surety Bond Quarterly; participate in NASBP Virtual Seminars; develop articles for SuretyLearn.org; assist with the development of various online courses; and provide in-person presentations on various topics at the Annual Meeting, Regional Meetings, and special conferences and seminars. The attorneys coordinate their NASBP activities with General Counsel Martha Perkins. They have kindly agreed to serve on the AAC in a volunteer capacity and will receive no compensation for their time and services.

NASBP is grateful to have the benefit of the excellent informational content from those serving on the AAC to enhance NASBP’s already robust educational offerings to its members, affiliates, associates, and the public about suretyship, construction, and government contracts. All the attorneys who serve on the AAC have already provided NASBP either written content or presentation content, or both.

The attorneys serving on the AAC will not provide legal representation to NASBP, as an association, while serving on the AAC. In addition, participants on the AAC will not be expected to furnish legal services to NASBP members, affiliates, and associates when solely acting in their volunteer role on the AAC.
