INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES MEETING

MOROCCO JUNE 4 – 15, 2011

with OPTIONAL Extension to PORTUGAL (June15-19, 2011)

Join your fellow National Bar Association members for a spectacular journey through Morocco for our 21st International Affiliate Meeting from June 4- June 15, 2011.

Exotic Morocco is a land of many contrasts where we will visit the four Imperial Cities. We will travel from modern Casablanca to Rabat where the US Ambassador will host a reception in our honor, then to the Roman ruins of the archaeological site of Volubilis, to the souks of Fes, then by private luxury train along the snow capped Atlas Mountains to the crown jewel of Morocco, Marrakech, with its famous Jemaa El Fna Square. History buffs are in for a treat and the natural beauty will delight photographers.

We will enjoy many dining experiences including meals in specialty restaurants, and an evening of fine dining accompanied by exotic Moroccan entertainment exclusive for the NBA. We will meet with the Bar Associations of Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakech as well as the American Chamber of Commerce in Casablanca.

Our Seminars will be informative and interesting. Our committee is working diligently to make this a very interesting, cultural, and

meaningful educational experience for the NBA delegates.
