The Massachusetts Bar Association's (MBA) Annual Dinner is our
traditional celebration of our recent accomplishments. As we gather
together on May 15, we should never forget that this year has been
just one lap on the MBA's perennial race to better serve the
interests of attorneys and protect the
underrepresented.
For too long, our race has been run without the benefit of
supporters. Many of lawyers' good works have gone unnoticed. That
is why one of my goals at the start of my presidency was to improve
the image of lawyers by promoting all the positive work that we do
in and outside of the legal community. I have no doubt that this
year we have added spectators in droves along our race course due
to our initiatives and very public community-based activities that
helped so many deserving people and causes.
