As the Chair-Elect of the Family Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association, I am pleased to invite you to apply as a candidate to fill a limited number of seats on its Executive Committee for the 2024 – 2025 term.
In order to be considered for selection of the Executive Committee, candidates must be members in good standing of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Family Law Section. Qualified candidates should have already made significant contributions to the NJSBA and NJSBA Family Law Section, the New Jersey Family Lawyer, and / or their local Bar Associations. Service on the Executive Committee requires significant time commitment, such as:
- Attending monthly meetings of the Executive Committee in various locations in New Jersey as required under the By-Laws of the Section (there are not meetings in July and August);
- Serving on subcommittees concerning the operations of the Family Law Section and substantive areas of law;
- Reviewing committee reports, legislation, and other materials;
- Advocating for legislation concerning family law consistent with the official position adopted by the NJSBA Board of Trustees in Trenton, and by developing connections with your local Legislators;
- Contributing articles to the New Jersey Family Lawyer; and
- Attending events sponsored by the NJSBA, including the Annual Meeting, as your schedule and other obligations permit.
Additionally, the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section is committed to increasing the "diversity and participation of our membership and to cultivate camaraderie among family lawyers" as set forth in our By-laws.
If you are able to commit to these obligations and would like to serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section, please send me a letter expressing your interest, together with your resume. Please include any additional information on your qualifications to serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section.
