You have worked tirelessly, often going above and beyond the call of duty, to advocate for a better future for our association. Your passion and determination have not gone unnoticed, and I am profoundly grateful to each and every one of you.
Although the outcome of the election is not what we had expected, the dreams and aspirations you hold for the Bar are noteworthy and valid. I appreciate and thank you for your relentless efforts and unwavering belief in our cause.
