It feels like it was yesterday when I
decided to run for President of our
Association. Now my second term is
coming to an end. Where did time
go?
It has been two years of hard work.
Meetings to organize, meetings to
attend, reports to be prepared, trips
made to the various PAF's Board
Meetings...
I'm grateful for the opportunity you
gave me and I have taken every chal-
lenge to heart.
If you asked me to choose one word
to describe what I'm most grateful for
in the past two years, that word
would be friendship. You don't lead a
group of people alone, you need
many faithful people to walk with you
so the job can be done. In the proc-
ess of working together, you get to
know people, their stories, and
friendships are formed.
I leave BPA's presidency with many
friends not only on the chapter level,
but also on the state level. I got to
also work with PAF's Board and got
to know the amazing group of people
who work hard to make our profes-
sion known and respected.
Thank you BPA's Board, Committee
Chairs, and all those of you who do-
nated your time to serve the associa-
tion. I could not have done IT with-
out you.
This next term I will become your
Immediate Past President. I'm looking
forward to working under the new
Board’s leadership. In addition, I will
be joining PAF's Board. I'm honored
to have the opportunity.
Please make sure to attend BPA's
Meeting on April 11 at Suntree Coun-
try Club. Our topic for next month is
“A Paralegal Panel Discussion: Attor-
neys Clients, and Peers – Effective
Communication." Also, we will be
having BPA's Annual Meeting. If you
are an active member and you can't
attend please send your proxies
ASAP.
