Subscribe NowDuring an incredibly challenging year, Indianapolis Bar Association & Foundation leaders continued to step up for the benefit of the profession and our community. We are extremely grateful to these members for giving so generously of their time and talent in the midst of so many challenges.
With pandemic safety protocols in place, our leaders shifted their initiatives to a completely virtual format, but they were able to think creatively to keep IndyBar members informed and engaged with association and foundation events and happenings.
