Boston Bar Association Invites Suggestions for Committee and Section Leaders

The Boston Bar Association (BBA) is beginning the process of identifying our leadership teams for next year. The first round of appointments will be Sections co-chairs which are made by the president-elect. The next appointments will be for Committees leaders, made by the Section chairs. Staff is responsible for providing leadership with a broad list of diverse candidates. If there are people whom you would like to suggest, please submit the names to Jennifer Cedor jcedor@bostonbar.org by March 1, 2010 for full consideration. Sections and Committees can be found at www.bostonbar.org. Information about the person’s background and practice area would be helpful to include with your recommendations.

Note that there are many factors that are considered for appointments so the BBA cannot guarantee spots for all of the leaders you suggest. However, there are many leadership appointments that are made throughout the year and this will not be the only opportunity.

For more information on this process please contact me via jcedor@bostonbar.org or
