Program

Rick Franza introduced our guest speaker Reid Smith, community affairs coordinator for Georgians for Lawsuit Reform, to discuss an amendment on the November ballot to establish a statewide Georgia Business Court. The statewide business court would handle certain forms of business litigation. The court would allow business to business legal action to be litigated in front of judges with business experience. Reid mentioned a pilot program in Fulton and Gwinnett County. He also said the North Carolina Business Court was effective and had lower costs, 

Following the presentation, President Ed led us in reciting the four-way test and then adjourned the meeting.

The next meeting will be on June 18th. The program will be the “2017-2018 year in review” and a special presentation will be made to Karen Brucker and her family.
