Thank You, Bar Presidents
Here's a partial honor role of bar presidents from throughout the state. Help us complete the list.
The life of a bar leader can be thankless and gratifying, exhausting and exhilarating, and high-brow and humbling, all at the same time. I know this first hand. So I take this presidential privilege to recognize and thank some of my fellow bar presidents from all over the state of Illinois for their dedication and service to their associations, the legal profession, and the community at large.
Obviously, this list is far from comprehensive. And that's where you can help. Is your bar president's name or your organization missing from this list? Please add it as a comment to the online version of this article or email it to aboucher@isba.org.

The impressive Judge Dominique Ross was Chair of the Illinois Judicial Council last year, but the talented Hon. Sharon O. Johnson, is and has been the Chairperson this bar year. I'm honored to be their colleague.
