Dear Section Member:
As Chair-Elect, it is my privilege to appoint highly
qualified and diverse individuals to join the Section’s
leadership team in 2012-13. Please review the
instructions and the
application form for a leadership position.
This form can also be used to nominate another Section member
for a leadership position. To identify one or more positions
that may be of interest to you or your nominee, you can review
the Section's
organizational chart.
Committee Chair Positions
As in past years, we expect the number of applicants to
exceed the number of positions available. We must choose among
many highly qualified individuals and balance numerous factors
when making appointments, including applicants’ substantive
background, as well as geographic and demographic diversity. If
you do not receive an appointment this year as chair of a
committee, I hope you will understand the constraints we are
working under and consider reapplying in the future.
Other Leadership Positions
There are also leadership opportunities within many of
the Section’s entities. These include vice chair and
subcommittee chair positions and web and newsletter editors. If
you or your nominee have an interest in a particular committee
and one of these positions then please note that in the
appropriate box on the application form, and we will forward
your name or the name of your nominee to the committee’s
leadership so that they can contact you to become involved.
All Section members are eligible for a leadership
appointment. The online process is open, and the deadline for
the submission of all applications is March 1, 2012. If
you have problems completing the on-line application, please
contact Kieshia Cobb at
Kieshia.Cobb@americanbar.org.
Thank you for your participation in this process and
for your dedication to the ABA Section of Litigation.
Bill Bay
