I've been attending the DRI Board of Directors meeting for the past two days and marvel at the level of talent of this truly remarkable volunteer organization. In these difficult economic times, my colleagues on the Board give their time and effort to make DRI an organization of superior lawyers committed to the protections inherent in a democratic civil justice system.
Holding court with these insightful men and women discussing the best ways to serve the membership while promoting the greater good warms my heart and makes me proud to be a part of this effort. As a member of this preeminent civil defense bar association, you can be confident that your interests are foremost. I hope you are a member of DRI, whether active in a DRI Committee or serving your professional interests on a state or local level. If not, you really need to consider becoming a part of this movement.
I believe you will be hearing and learning more about DRI in the coming weeks and months. The brand of DRI will become far more prominent in our legal profession. In difficult times, DRI will be ready to answer to call. I'm very happy to be a part of it all.
