Nominations begin March 18 and end at 5 p.m. March 22 for election to the Jacksonville Bar Association board of governors.
There are six seats open this year; five with two-year terms and one with a one-year term.
Board members Adina Pollan, Shannon Schott, John Weedon, David Thompson and Tim Miller are seeking reelection, along with Brian Coughlin, who is running for president-elect.
The board meets 11 times a year to review the activities and finances of the JBA. One or two times a year each member of the board writes an article for our Bar Bulletin about a topic of interest to the board member.
Board members also represent the association at naturalization ceremonies at the Bryan Simpson U.S. Courthouse.
The operations of the association such as managing events, calendars, our website, social media, etc., are handled by the executive director and staff.
This differs from many other local voluntary Bar associations as traditionally, the board handles the operations of the organization.
The JBA is fortunate to have a great team that oversees the association’s daily business.
If becoming a member of the board of governors is something that interests you, contact me to talk more about the opportunities for service to the association.
