We hope so! The VBA thrives with member participation, and one the most important ways you can serve is as a member of the Board of Managers.
There a three 2-year seats coming open this winter. Additionally, the seat for the VBA Delegate to the ABA is open for nominations (duties commencing in August 2024), and the executive committee positions of Treasurer, Secretary, and President Elect, are open every year.
The VBA Nominating Committee is meeting on Dec. 15 to select nominees for all open seats on the VBA Board of Bar Managers. If you would like to be considered for the slate, please contact Andrew Manitsky, Chair of the Nominating Committee, at amanitsky@lynnlawvt.com before Dec. 15. Nominations may also come by petition or on the floor at the meeting. See the VBA constitution here for complete information. VBA Members will vote for the Board at the VBA Mid-Year Meeting scheduled for Friday, March 29 at the Hilton Burlington Lake Champlain.
