CARA M. TANGARO

Recently Utah's legal community has seen drastic changes, far more than any other time in my career, which constitutes twenty-two years of legal practice and fifteen years as a solo and small firm practitioner. Those changes, in large part, start at and are explored by the Bar Commission. I have served as a Third Division Bar Commissioner for five years and have injected my perspective and experiences to ensure solo/small firm attorneys have a voice in our changing landscape. As a Commissioner I have also worked to ensure the Bar is advancing our profession and providing valuable services to lawyers across the state. I'm proudest of my work regarding attorney wellness. I was on the original task force regarding this focus, and then Chairperson of the Well-being Committee along with Justice Paige Petersen. I am humbled to be nominated by the Utah State Bar Commission, and for the opportunity to serve as your President-elect. As President-elect, I will work with all lawyers, sections, committees, and other stakeholders to continue to provide valuable services to lawyers and the public.
