GETTING READY FOR 2010-11 - State Bar President-Elect, Letitia Neese Chafin, is already working hard to prepare for her upcoming role as State Bar President.  As a part of her preparation, she is seeking input from State Bar members on the need to establishment new practice Committees, eliminate inactive Committees and re-constitute existing Committees.  If you feel the State Bar has a need for a new Committee, and you are interested in chairing that Committee, please contact President-Elect Chafin at tishchafin@yahoo.com.  Likewise, if you believe an existing Committee has been underutilized and either needs to be abandoned or rejuvenated, let her know.  Finally, if you are interested in chairing, or continuing to chair, an existing/active practice Committee, please advise her of your interest.  Once the 2010-11 Committees have been established, all old Committee rosters will be vacated and new Committee chairs will serve as conduits to repopulate those Committees with individuals who wish to take an active role in developing the work of those Committees.
