DRI is an organization that allowed me to build a career. Serving on this Board was the best experience of my career. I was honored to Chair of Membership for the entire organization. During my tenure, DRI rolled out a new State Membership Chair initiative. It was been a pleasure to serve two years as the Board Liaison to the Intellectual Property Committee, and one year for DRI's Young Lawyers Committee.

I am an active member of the Board's Properties Committee addressing member improvements at all of the Y's branches, as well as planning of new branches.

I was honored to serve as the Chair of the 3,500 hundred member organization. During my term as Chair, the Executive Committee met monthly. We embarked on a new quarterly newsletter and proposed legislative change. The Section's Executive Committee took action to recommend an amendment to Insurance Law. In addition, the Section sponsored many district events and CLE. The Section also continued its annual Law School for the Claim Professional program. We continued to look for ways to reinvest in membership by creating diversity scholarships and a law student writing contest. Our leadership reached out to various law schools and held several on-campus recruiting events to interest new lawyers in the New York State Bar and the Section. The Section has been acknowledged for its use of technology. It recently received national acclaim for the first ever web cast of an Executive Committee meeting, and the Section Blog has been recognized with top honors as well. In addition, we now have podcast messages on the Section webpage from various leaders in the Section. I am proud to say that the Section Website is the most current and expansive of any Section. The Section continued its tradition of offering this first rate publication of the Torts, Insurance and Compensation Law Journal. In addition, we commented and participated on over 50 pieces of legislation. I also participated in the newly formed Federal Legislative Priorities Committee established by New York State Bar President. The Section’s Committees and Divisions were re-energized with new proactive leadership. Each is sponsoring CLE or working on a project of significance. The Section began 2008 with a modest surplus, and ended the fiscal year with a surplus that will ensure stability for the future.
