One board member is a solo practitioner. Larger law firms are represented by six members. Board members are not reimbursed for their expenses. One member works with a local truancy intervention project, while several volunteer with the Rotary Club and Boy Scouts. Finding time for leisure endeavors, too, board members list golf, fishing, and boating as popular pasttimes, and several participate in activities related to their children.
Board members are active with their local bar associations and most have held office.
I hear from board members that the experience is richly rewarding and a way to give something back to the legal profession. I welcome the observation that the board has evolved over the years to reflect the general Bar membership. I also am grateful that the board continues to attract dedicated, hardworking members.
