Please describe why you would be the best candidate for the State Bar Council:

I have served on the State Bar Council for seven years in a variety of capacities, and I am involved in several important, ongoing State Bar projects and initiatives.  I seek election for my final term to continue my service and complete the important matters on which I have been involved. I believe that my experience as a Councilor, my connections with the many facets of our Bar and my history of service qualify me to continue serving the lawyers of Mecklenburg County and the State productively and effectively.
