2012 BAR FOUNDATION FELLOWS-
The Bar Foundation Board of Directors has selected the members of the 2012 class of Bar Foundation Fellows. This year’s group of seventeen lawyers and three members of the judiciary joins 223 lawyers and 32 judges, who have been previously selected as Bar Foundation Fellows.
For the past fourteen years, the Bar Foundation, which is the philanthropic organization for the legal profession and the justice system, has selected “those lawyers whose professional, public and private careers have demonstrated outstanding dedication to the welfare of their communities and honorable service to the legal profession with the individuals selected reflecting the diverse nature of the legal profession in West Virginia.”
The Annual Reception and Dinner to honor the 2012 class will be held on Thursday, April 26, at the Marriott Hotel in Charleston. The well attended black tie optional event begins at 6:30PM and the cost is $125 per person or $1,250 for a table of ten persons.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING-
The American Bar Association held its Mid-year Meeting in New Orleans at the beginning of the month. This semi-annual event, which includes sessions involving thousands of lawyers and judges from across the country, was re-scheduled after the disastrous effects of Hurricane Katrina had caused the meeting to be moved from New Orleans a few years ago.
During ABA meetings, there are multiple days of educational and leadership programs involving the National Conference of Bar Foundations, the National Conference of Bar Presidents, the National Association of Bar Executives and numerous other legally related entities. Several West Virginia representatives participated, including 2012 Bar Foundation Fellow Sandra Chapman, who is an Executive Council member for the National Conference of Bar Presidents.
LAW OFFICE PREPAREDNESS REMINDER-
Is your law office ready for an emergency?
Did you know that approximately 15-40% of all businesses fail following a natural or man-made disaster?
Did you know that small to medium-sized businesses lose approximately $12,500 each day from power outages or service interruptions caused by a non-existent or inadequate emergency preparedness plan?
The WV Business Volunteer Council has business preparedness resources available. You can request that a free computer thumbdrive be sent to you that includes emergency planning templates, disaster kit checklists and much more. Please contact:
