Statement of Candidacy:
Serving on the Bar Commission has enhanced my understanding of the many opportunities and responsibilities that we as lawyers have to improve our ever changing and diverse profession.  In these challenging economic times, I am committed to help the Bar operate efficiently and effectively, expand pro bono opportunities, mentor young lawyers, and support the judicial branch.  There is much work to be done in these areas. 

I would like to continue contributing by serving another term on the Bar Commission.  The experience gained during my first term will enable me to be a better representative going forward.  Thank you for considering my candidacy.
