BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Bar Foundation Board of Directors met last month and made policy decisions on numerous matters. The Board is a diverse group of two members of the judiciary and thirteen lawyers from all parts of the state and all types of law practice.

As the governing body, the Board reviewed its financial report, received a report on the continuing improvement in its Investment Fund, discussed its upcoming Lunch and Laughs, Foundation Fellows Dinner and Lawyer Leadership Institute events and approved the awarding of Bar Foundation grants.

The Board meets on a quarterly basis with the next meeting set for December 4, 2014, at the Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso law office in Charleston.

 

 

 

BAR FOUNDATION GRANTS
The Bar Foundation Board of Directors took unanimous action to approve two grants during its September quarterly meeting. The first grant was awarded in 2004 and since that time 44 specific grants have been made with approximately $250,000 distributed totally—-with 37 grants and distributions worth more than $230,000 occurring since 2008.

The four main categories of grants have been public education, law student scholarships, legal services for low income citizens and child abuse and neglect prevention.

The two most recent grants were provided to the WV Supreme Court for its successful WV Law Adventure mock trial program for middle school students from across the state and to Child Protect of Mercer County for necessary forensic interviews in child abuse and neglect cases.
