Ready. Set. Go.
The 2017-2018 KBA Young Lawyers Section is off to a fast start. Beginning last year, the decision was made to hold the board's first meeting at the KBA Annual Meeting, even though the Annual Meeting is held prior the July 1 starting date for board terms. Meeting at the Annual Meeting provides multiple benefits. First, we as a board are getting a head start on the year, which inevitably will go quickly. Second, we are supporting the KBA Annual Meeting. If you made the wise decision to attend the Annual Meeting, you will undoubtedly agree with me that the 2017 edition of the Annual Meeting was terrific. Finally, assembling at the Annual Meeting provides young lawyers exposure to the KBA, experienced lawyers and judges.
In future columns, I will discuss the activities and purpose of the KBA YLS. But, without further delay, here is your 2017-2018 YLS Board:
