The meetings are typically held Thursdays from 4:30 to 6 p.m. If chosen to run for President-elect, please keep in mind that it is a three-year time commitment.  The President-elect serves as chair of the Finance Committee, as well as selects and introduces the speakers for the monthly luncheons and breakfast discussion series. The President is responsible for attending as many committee meetings and Bar functions as possible.  The President will also preside over board meetings and Bar luncheons. The President-elect and President have some travel to annual conferences as part of their duties. The Past President chairs the Nominating Committee and remains available to the President(s) and President(s)-elect for guidance and advice.
