“I am honored to serve as President of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation and lead the Foundation as we continue to serve greater Cleveland through award winning programming. We will lean into our mission – “Lawyers Giving Back” – by supporting our community, whether through volunteer work for artists, education programs in our schools, pro bono activities, filling a justice gap, or supporting pipeline initiatives that have transformed student participants into Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association members. Please join me in recommitting some of your professional time and resources to the work of the Bar Foundation as it promotes justice and the rule of law in our community.”
