Past President’s Reception 2023 - BAR BULLETIN

Bar Bulletin


Posted on: Nov 1, 2023

On September 12, over a dozen past KCBA and KCBF presidents came together for a wonderful reception at the home of Scott Smith (a former KCBA president himself).

The attendees’ terms as president spanned from the 1981–82 membership year (Nancy Gibbs) to the membership year just past (2022–23, Tahmina Watson). The group enjoyed catching up and mingling, but also sat down together for a focused conversation on how to better engage members in the leadership of KCBA.

KCBA staff and our current KCBA and KCBF presidents, Karen Orehoski and Vanessa Power, were thrilled to hear from these longtime members and experts. We hope to continue these conversations with historical leadership, and invite all those who haven’t yet participated in KCBA leadership to take a page from this distinguished group’s book — Bar leadership is compelling and so rewarding!
