“I am proud to continue to serve with my fellow trustees and executive board. Together, this year has been a tremendous challenge and we have made our positions on behalf of our membership clear. The state bar is not only relevant but taking a lead role on judicial independence, professional liability and many key areas of legislation. This year has been a year of healing and hard work I am proud to have the confidence of the membership to continue to serve, protect, foster and promote personal and professional interests of its members.” said Keefe.
