Dear IndyBar Government Practice Section members,

Another year of learning, networking, and fellowship has quickly passed by. Justin Swanson will soon be taking over as section chair, and I look forward to continuing to work with him and the other dedicated members on the Executive Committee as we bring CLEs, social events, and other programming to our members. I have valued the opportunity to serve as the section chair and enjoyed meeting so many of our members.
