An Update on the Institute of Continuing Legal Education
As part of our Annual Meeting, we provided an update to the Board of Governors, in my executive director's report, and for the Institute of Continuing Legal Education (ICLE) Board, on the activities and operations of the department. We wanted to provide a brief update for you, too, as the program evolves to support the needs of our members and play its part in improving the quality of legal services.

It is also due in part to the patience and renewed and ongoing partnerships with our sections, related organizations, individuals and others that serve as program chairs and planners, or in another capacity as a valuable stakeholder and partner with the program. We are grateful to you all.
It is mainly due in part to the work of the people in the department that remain dedicated to the mission and purpose stated above. Like all the Bar's staff members, they are working hard and making contributions that will benefit the department in the short and long term. Some have been with the department for a while, and they know the corners. Others are new to ICLE and bring fresh perspectives and skills. All of them are committed to the work.
Our search for a new director is underway, and soon that person will be able to also carry out the vision of the department on a daily basis. Until then, and after, we will remain focused on a few things.
