We have an election coming in the fall and of course, Phone: (202) 293-4000 we have several noteworthy FCBA events coming down the pike Fax: (202) 293-4317 as well. Thanks to those organizations who have volunteered to E-mail: [email protected] sponsor the New Commissioners’ Reception on September 13; Website: http://www.fcba.org more sponsors are welcome, and sponsorship and individual ticket OFFICERS information is contained on page 13 of this newsletter. Our Young Lawyers, and the Laura H. Phillips Charity Auction Committee, are busy organizing for the Charity Auction on November President 8; if you have prizes to donate or great leads towards amazing prize “experiences,” I Joseph M. Di Scipio know the Charity Auction Committee would very much like to hear from you! President-Elect Since last month, the various committees and chapters that are so critical to the Robert E. Branson delivery of programming have been formed and are listed on page 4 of this newsletter Secretary as well as on the FCBA website. The Executive Committee held its first meeting of Monica S. Desai the year and the FCBA Foundation, headed by Karen Brinkmann, also has begun its Assistant Secretary work for the coming year. David A. Gross Treasurer I wanted to highlight the efforts of a couple of our lesser known but important Christopher J. Wright committees: the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, the Membership and Marketing Assistant Treasurer Committee and the Finance Committee. There’s a short article in this newsletter EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE describing the work of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee and I am thankful to David O’Connor and Mark Denbo for their willingness to serve this year. Parul Desai Kyle D. Dixon The Membership and Marketing Committee this year is co-chaired by Jim Blitz, Davina Yaron Dori Sashkin, Peter Corea and Ryan Wallach. While the Association is so fortunate to Erin L. Dozier Rosemary C. Harold have as many engaged members as it has, the FCBA inevitably is affected by the same Julie M. Kearney forces that over time reshape the nature and numbers of organizations that participate Melissa Newman in the communications policy process. While we have the wherewithal to continue Thomas C. Power to do what we do very well, we have set as both a short and a long term goal to Natalie G. Roisman retain existing members and to attract new ones. This year’s Committee is studying Megan Anne Stull options, including perhaps injecting a little competition or prize incentives for existing CHAPTER REPRESENTATIVE FCBA members to bring in new members. More on that later, perhaps, but I wanted Robert Millar to publicly acknowledge the work of this key team as the membership renewal and Michele K. Thomas membership solicitation process continues this month and likely into the fall. If you DELEGATE TO THE see Jim, Davina, Pete or Ryan anywhere soon, please share with them any ideas you AMERICAN BAR have to make our membership processes better, and maybe even a little more fun. ASSOCIATION My final point on committees is to alert the membership that we have a new Committee, Brooks E. Harlow that is the Finance Committee, which is an adjunct to the Executive Committee of the YOUNG LAWYERS FCBA. Our ability to track and forecast revenues and expenses has been enhanced REPRESENTATIVE over the last couple of years by increasing the level of detail in bookkeeping. With Mark W. Brennan that greater detail available, it seems prudent to conduct periodic tracking and review FCBA STAFF of FCBA finances by a core group of members who can review any issues in greater depth, perceive emerging trends and generally manage beyond just setting a budget Stanley D. Zenor ([email protected]) Executive Director for a single year. While the FCBA’s Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, along with the Kerry K. Loughney ([email protected]) President, have assumed this role in the past, a formalized and expanded Finance Director of Member Services Committee, that includes the Secretary, Assistant Secretary and two At-Large members Wendy Jo Parish ([email protected]) appointed by the President, is now in place. The Finance Committee will be meeting Administrative Assistant throughout the year and reporting and providing insight to the Executive Committee.

FCBA NEWS 14 AUGUST 2012 7TH ANNUAL FCBA/ABA SYMPOSIUM ON PRIVACY & DATA SECURITY – DVD Now Available! “Privacy Dangers, Dilemmas & Solutions for a Digital Age”
The DVD contains a video recording of the 4-hour symposium, plus a wealth of written materials. SESSION I – CAN SOCIAL NETWORKING BE PRIVATE? – PRIVACY ISSUES RELATED TO ADVERTISING AND MARKETING ON SOCIAL NETWORK PLATFORMS Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and other social network platforms are the fastest growing media vehicles for commercial use, including marketing and advertising a company’s goods and services. We will explore social network platforms’ own privacy requirements and limitations for their users regarding how personal information is collected, used and disclosed, as well as rules and guidelines for conducting promotions and marketing using the social network. We will also discuss the potential privacy issues with the management of merged databases and compliance with various federal and state laws. SESSION II - THE BUCK STOPS HERE! – MANAGING THE LIABILITY AND RISKS OF ENGAGING THIRD PARTY VENDORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS Most businesses use a third party to manage their websites and/or databases, develop mobile applications, send promotional and marketing tweets, text messages or emails, process online payment transactions, provide software and services for cloud computing, or administer social networking platforms and contests and sweepstakes. We will identify the risks and liabilities for such relationships, and discuss the due diligence, contracting, and post-engagement responsibilities required under state and federal statutes, regulations or guidelines, and industry best practices for engaging support for various digital-based services and products. SESSION III - SMART PRIVACY CHOICES FOR MOBILE APPS Mobile apps are breaking new ground not only in terms of what they can make your mobile device do, but also in terms of the data privacy and security debate. From games to location-based services, these apps do new and (sometimes) surprising things with your data. We will explore how apps-related privacy concerns have been and are being addressed under current statutes, regulations, class action lawsuits and self-regulatory frameworks and will offer practical guidance for navigating the road ahead.
