Subject: Presidential Committee Appointments

 

TO:                  ABA House of Delegates

 

FROM:             Michelle Behnke, President-Elect

SUBJECT:        Presidential Appointments Process 

 

DATE:             December ------11, 2024

 

 

As President-Elect, it is my privilege to fill vacancies on ABA Standing and
Special Committees, Commissions, Working Groups, Task Forces and other ABA
entities for the Association year.  To assist our Appointments Committee
with this important process, please recommend candidates for appointments to
these entities.   

 

Please note that the Young Lawyer Fellows opportunity is also available as
part of the application process. The goal of the Fellows program is to
increase involvement opportunities for lawyers who are relatively new to the
ABA. While up to 10 Fellow appointments are permitted per entity, the exact
number of young lawyer fellows will be determined by your group.

 

Nominations should be made electronically on the ABA website.  Please visit
<https://www.americanbar.org/groups/leadership/office_of_the_president/presi
dential-committee-appointments/?login> Presidential Committee Appointments
2025-2026 (americanbar.org) for instructions and the on-line application
beginning on December 23, 2024. Nominations must be received by February 10,
2025, for consideration. In addition to your recommendations, we hope that
you will encourage any other interested members to fill out the electronic
application on their own behalf.  

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance. The Appointments Committee and I
will give each application thorough consideration, but please understand
that the number of qualified applicants typically far exceeds the number of
open positions. If you would like to discuss this process, please feel free
to contact the Appointments Committee Chairs, Hon. Adrienne Nelson at
