BRANGWIN PARTICIPATES IN ABA BAR LEADERSHIP INSTITUTEby Julia A. Bahner
Joining nearly 300 leaders of lawyer organizations from across the country at the American Bar Association’s Bar Leadership Institute (“BLI”), March 9-11, 2006, was John M. Brangwin of Wenatchee, President-elect of the WYLD.
The BLI is held annually in Chicago for incoming officials of local and state bars, special focus lawyer associations, and bar foundations. The seminar provides the opportunity to confer with ABA officials, bar leader colleagues, executive staff, and other experts on the operation of such organizations.
Brangwin joined ABA President Michael S. Greco of Boston, Massachusetts, and ABA President-elect Karen J. Mathis of Denver, Colorado, in sessions on bar governance, finance, communications and planning.
Various ABA entities briefed the participants on resources available from the ABA for local, state, national, and specialty bar associations and foundations.
The BLI is sponsored by the ABA Standing Committee on Bar Activities and Services and the ABA Division for Bar Services as part of the association’s long-standing goal of fostering partnerships with bars and related organizations nationwide. Cooperating ABA staff entities included the Division for Media Relations and Communication Services.
