Nomination to be Chairman of the New York State Bar Association Corporate Counsel Section
I am pleased to announce I have been nominated to be Chairman of the Corporate Counsel Section ("CCS") of the New York State Bar Association ("NYSBA").*
The CCS is one of 25 standing "Sections" of the NYSBA, currently attracting about 1,600 of NYSBA's approximately 74,000 members. CCS focuses on items of interest to attorneys that practice in-house (or have spent a considerable time in-house, such as myself), provides networking opportunities for its members, sponsors targeted Continuing Legal Education (CLE) classes, and weighs in on legal issues of particular interest to businesses, companies, corporations, non-profits and the attorneys that serve them.
The NYSBA was founded on November 21, 1876 in Albany, New York, and then incorporated on May 2, 1877 by an act of the New York State legislature. The goals of the NYSBA are to cultivate the science of jurisprudence, promote reform in the law, facilitate the administration of justice, and elevate the standards of integrity, honor, professional skill and courtesy in the legal profession. Unlike bar associations in some other states, membership in the NYSBA is entirely voluntary.
I have been a member of the Executive Committee of the CCS for several years, including four as Treasurer. Now, I am delighted, grateful and proud, to have this new opportunity to lead the CCS in the coming year. I look forward to working with my colleagues, our members and anyone else interested in advancing areas of jurisprudence of relevance to our constituency, creating new opportunities for our members, and hopefully enjoying ourselves in the process.
