As my term as Historian comes to an end, I first want to thank the NCBC Board for the opportunity to serve the organization in this way. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all the members of the Board during my tenure; they are, without exception, totally committed to the NCBC, and work extremely hard to advocate for our membership. All in addition to their outstanding service in their home Courts. I want to include a special note of thanks to Barry Lander, who originated the idea of the designated Board Staff position of Historian, worked to make it a reality, and encouraged me to apply.
I also want to thank all of you dedicated NCBC members, who I have come to know over these years. I’ve enjoyed meeting you at our Annual Conferences, talking about the history of our organization (a topic I never tire of!), and welcoming you to the historical display. I am especially grateful to those of you who have contributed Conference memorabilia and historical documents to add to the collection. Please continue to do so—I know my successor will appreciate any and all additions.
Just because I will no longer be at the display table doesn’t mean I won’t be around anymore. I am excited about the upcoming Conference in Denver, and I’m looking forward to re-connecting with so many of you I’ve seen over the years. It’s going to be a great Conference, and I hope you’re already making plans to be there.
I have been primarily concerned with the NCBC’s past, but I am looking forward with great enthusiasm to what it will accomplish in the future. After 37 years, I hope that the best years for our Conference are still ahead!
