January 2022 Newsletter
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
President’s Message:
A new year often brings a commitment to making resolutions. Most often my personal resolutions take the form of goals to write more letters to friends and family or to just be more “present” in a world that is increasingly distracting. While I will endeavor (yet again) to achieve those ideals that often seem out of reach, I’m grateful for the added opportunity this new year brings to be of service to you and this Association.
With that in mind, we are going to model our approach to 2022 as an chance to:
- Refocus our attention on what matters as practitioners and professionals;
- Reconnect with friends, colleagues and mentors; and
- Renew our minds so we, as legal professionals, can continue to serve our community both professionally and personally.
Unfortunately, and while we had hoped to return to our “in-person” format this month, ongoing renovations at our venue and the resurgence of COVID-19 require us to maintain our “virtual” presentations for January, and likely, February. It is our hope and prayer that our luncheons and live CLE presentations will resume in March. We will keep you all posted as this situation develops.

On behalf of myself and fellow 2022 officers, Collin Sims (Vice President/President Elect) and Kristen Stanley-Wallace (Treasurer), we wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
