Article by 2024-2025 CABA President
Posted June 2024It is an honor to serve as President of the Capital Area Bar Association for the upcoming year. I want to personally thank each and every member for allowing me the opportunity to do so. The responsibility accompanying this role is humbling, and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly.
In starting this year, I would ask all members to find a way to serve our profession and community through CABA. There are many opportunities for all members to be a part of the organization’s mission.
Consider attendance at our monthly meeting of members, which provides opportunities to see your colleagues and to learn of legal developments.
Consider mentoring new attorneys and becoming a part of their development for a positive impact on our profession. Please consider serving on a CABA committee. These committees facilitate CLE events for lawyer development, support the Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project, continue the Law Day tradition for students to learn about the law and legal system, and maintain relationships between CABA and the state and federal judiciary. Please review the committee descriptions on the website and consider joining one. I think you will find there is a path for every member to become meaningfully engaged in our professional organization.
Finally, if you have an idea for something new, we want to hear it! Please contact me. I welcome your ideas and suggestions.
With your support and collaboration, I am confident that we will continue to uphold the values of excellence, integrity, and justice that define our tri-county bar association. I wish you the best in the year ahead and look forward to seeing you along the way.
