Thank You to Our Outgoing Committee Chairs!

As the 2025 City Bar committee year wraps up this summer, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and thank the chairs of our committees whose three-year term is coming to an end on August 31. City Bar committee chairs lead the 150+ committees that give the City Bar its voice. Over this past committee year, under the leadership of the chairs, our committees have drafted hundreds of reports and statements, speaking out on some of the most critical issues affecting our profession and our communities. They have organized hundreds of events and CLE programs. They have also played a role in each committee member’s professional development by creating networking opportunities and projects to increase their skills and knowledge. And, remarkably, they have found the time and bandwidth to do all of this while in most cases working full-time jobs.

To all of our committee chairs: thank you so much for all you have done for the City Bar, for the legal profession, and for the public interest.
