Dear Members of the Sports & Entertainment Section:
I am so honored that you have given me the privilege to serve as chair of the Section this bar year.
It’s an interesting time to be chair. Younger attorneys (I still think of myself this way) are often looking to technology and other avenues for the camaraderie and resources for which they might previously have looked to a bar association section.
