President-Elect
& Bar Commission Candidates
Candidate
for President-Elect
Heather
Farnsworth is the sole candidate for the office of
President-elect. No other nominations were made to the Bar
Commission. Utah State Bar bylaws state: "In the event
that there is only one candidate for the office of
President-elect, the ballot shall be considered as a
retention vote and a majority of those voting shall be
required to accept or reject the sole candidate."
HEATHER
FARNSWORTH
I am
humbled to be nominated by my fellow commissioners for the
opportunity to act as your President-Elect. It has been my
honor to serve for seven years as a commissioner and as an
ex-officio representative of the Women Lawyers of Utah. I
have prepared for this opportunity by working in leadership
on the Executive Committee, as chair for the 85th Anniversary
Event, and co-chair of the Awards Committee. I have also
participated in multiple committees including the Futures
Commission and the Summer Bar Convention Review Committee.
In
addition to my bar experience, I have leadership experience
as a former President of the Women Lawyers of Utah and as the
co-owner of Match and Farnsworth, a high-volume small firm.
It has been my goal to be a voice for those who may fall
outside of the traditional practice experience, who are often
under-represented in bar leadership. I will continue to share
my perspective while representing your concerns. I will work
to strengthen the profession and the value of bar membership.
I commit to diligently represent your needs within the Bar
and within the community. Thank you for considering my
candidacy.

JOHN
BRADLEY
For the
past three years it has been my pleasure to serve as the Bar
Commissioner from the Second District. I would like to extend
that service for a second term. The Second District bar is
composed primarily of small firm, solo and government
attorneys. I have done my best to keep this demographic in
mind as I listen and discuss items that come before the bar.
