As I write this, I feel extremely privileged to take on the role of chair. LRE had a very busy previous 12 months. The past chairs of our committee have set the bar high. I am grateful to Sandi Sweeney for taking time to sit and talk with me several times over the last year. Her time as chair has proved successful and fruitful.

I hope to manage expectations but also, keep things moving in the right direction. 

Our first in person meeting in roughly two years was exciting and allowed for all LRE members new and old to convene for another productive year! It is my goal to hold consistent, constructive meetings within the hour time commitment. I know that our subcommittees are diligently scheduling their next meetings and will provide updates at our next online meeting (August 17, 2022, at 3:30 p.m.). 

Here’s the gentle reminder that there are subcommittees who need your expertise and your time. If you do not have a place yet, let me know where you would like to serve… or even what you would like to know more about, we’ll get you connected. 

Law Related Education for the Public is so important, particularly in the current climate. We can help people be educated and informed. I think that’s a high honor. Thank you for your time, effort, and dedication to our committee.
