The IndyBar President’s Update is a regular feature where we share what’s been happening behind the scenes, celebrate wins, and give you a sense of where we’re headed. It’s a way to keep everyone in the loop, reflect on what we’ve accomplished together, and look ahead to what’s next.

• Our first formal Constitution Day programming was success! Nearly 50 people gathered at the Indiana Supreme Court to hear A. Scott Chinn, Richard Shevitz and Frank Sullivan present a program on “The State of the American Rule of Law.” The event closed with the bar awarding three local high school students with cash prizes for their work in creating essays regarding their thoughts on the Constitution. You can read their entries at www.indybar.org/essaywinners. Thanks go also to Enrique Flores who presented a bi-lingual program to dozens at the Hawthorne Community Center, and Kevin McGoff who presented to students at St. Pius School. Kiamesha Collom, Mary Hoeller, Judy Woods, and Molly Madden also generously shared their time and knowledge with the 2nd and 3rd grade students at Acton Elementary School and the 5th through 8th grade students at St. Richards Episcopal School. Know of other opportunities for us to share educational information? Reach out to Travis Jensen at [email protected] or Chris Hickey at [email protected].
• We are planning for the future of our members.
