President’s Message, printed in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin, December 2024
As we come to the end of 2024, I’m honored to have served as your president during a time that has called on us all to adapt, evolve and envision new paths forward for our profession. I have endeavored to frame this role as akin to running a relay race, carrying the baton for what truly is a short period of time, building on the work of those who came before us, and passing it on to serve as a foundation for those that come after.
As I write this President’s Message in the middle of the fourth quarter, I feel like a runner in the final stretch of a race — focused, driven and fully committed to finishing strong. The year has brought unique challenges and incredible progress, and looking back allows me to appreciate the strides we’ve made together. It’s been a year of collaboration, growth and renewed vision for the bar, and I am both proud and grateful to have been part of it.
