Open Nominations for Executive Committee Seats
Why serve on a Section Executive Committee?
- Influence the way law is practiced in our community by liaising with the court, bench, and other legal community leaders.
- Solidify your reputation as a valuable leader by providing oversight and support to Section members. The Section acts as a forum to share knowledge, education, and expertise.
- Broaden connections and round out your resume. Leadership roles attract accomplished, interesting people. Such expertise often sharpens your business acumen.
- Build valuable relationships and boardroom credibility, which serves as a great stepping stone to reach professional goals.
If you are interested, you may nominate yourself or someone else. Nominations should be accompanied by a statement explaining why the nominee would make a good committee member (not to exceed 200 words).
What’s involved?
- Act as an ambassador of the ACBA, Section, and to the legal community at large.
- Attend regularly scheduled monthly Section Executive Committee meetings with your colleagues.
- Organize, attend, and promote Section MCLE programs, networking events, and section-specific information updates.
- Become knowledgeable about the Section, ACBA Bylaws, programs, and activities.
The Executive Committee is comprised of nine Section members who are elected for two-year terms, half of which begin in alternate years. There are generally 4-5 openings each year.
To be eligible as an Executive Committee member, nominees must be a member in good standing of the Alameda County Bar Association and a member of the Section. If there are more nominations than available positions, an election will be held in October.
