Platform Statement
I am honored to be nominated to run for treasurer of the State Bar of Wisconsin. As a former Chair of the Continuing Legal Education Committee and former member of the Finance Committee, I gained valuable insight into the important functions performed by the State Bar and have participated in the Bar’s budget process. I believe I have the skills necessary to help the Bar further its goals of service to members, diversity and inclusion, and access to justice.
As treasurer, I would strive to make sure that the budget is in line with the values of the State Bar and that all members, no matter where they live or what their practice area, feel as though their voices are represented. When tough financial decisions have to be made, those decisions should line up with the strategic plan and the mission of the organization. I expect we’ll tire of hearing that we live in unprecedented times, but with that comes both challenges and opportunities for innovation, and I look forward to meeting those challenges head-on if elected.
Thank you for your consideration, and I would be honored to have your vote.
