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.
• I am saddened to note the recent passing of 1983 Association President Eugene Henn at age 93. Gene spent his career as a community leader practicing law within our local banking industry. A dedicated bar member, Gene was the first recipient of our bar’s highest accolade, the Luminary Award, in 1990 and was a Distinguished Fellow of the Indianapolis Bar Foundation.
• Congratulations to Kari Hartman, IndyBar Associate Executive Director, on recently celebrating 30 years with the Association and Foundation. Kari oversees our accounting and member services, and we are immensely grateful for her.
• Don’t wait any longer, register for Bench Bar! Golf, Pickleball, Breakfast with Judges and an amazing CLE agenda. The room block at French Lick Springs Hotel closes on May 20th and the rates will increase. Visit indybar.org/benchbar for more information.
• The Board of Directors met on May 14. Our finances are excellent, and we’re on track to achieve our strategic goals. All committees and task forces are actively engaged.
• Dean Karen Bravo reported to the board that law school applications are up at McKinney and nationwide. Be part of the support of incoming students by volunteering to help with the interview program we’re hosting with the school. Nearly 100 of you have already committed. We’re hoping to add another 50 volunteers. Visit indybar.org/mockinterview to add your name to the volunteer roster.
• The Hispanic Lawyers Division is working with local media to create content assisting members of the Spanish-speaking community with a wide variety of legal information segments. Watch for more information on that effort.
• We’re interested in learning of ideas or concerns for association outreach and support. If you have a thought to share, please reach out to me at [email protected].
