Nominating Committee Report
Following the interview process and vetting of candidates, the Nominating Committee is pleased to submit the following slate of officers for the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, 2024 – 2025 Bar Year:
- President-Elect – Untress Quinn
- Vice President – Amy Rebecca Johnson
- Treasurer – M. Graham Dobbs
- Secretary – Lauren Collins
- ABA Delegate – Hon. Jason Sengheiser
- President – Elect Kevin Gunn will assume Presidency on May 1, 2024
The bylaws of the Association provide for the appointment of a nominating committee to include diverse representation from several existing committees and sections. In May 2023, BAMSL President Kendra Howard appointed Lynn Ann Vogel as the chair of the 2024-25 Nominating Committee.
Other new members to the committee include:
- John Simon was appointed to the Committee by the Past Presidents Committee
- Hon. Nanette Baker was appointed by President Howard for a two-year term.
- Tamar Hodges was appointed by the Young Lawyers Division
Returning committee members include:
- Brittainy Cavender was appointed by the Women in the Legal Profession Section
- Justin Strayhorn was appointed by Minorities in the Legal Profession Section
- Hon. E. Richard Webber was appointed to a two-year term by then-President Brockland.
The committee held their first meeting in August 2023 to review the by-laws and outline the committee charge. The initial meeting served as a discussion about the process, the need to assure all BAMSL Members are informed about the process, and to ensure every effort was made to make the committee process open and accessible. Interviews of the candidates were conducted on October 24, 2023. In carrying out our work as a committee, we were guided by the principle that BAMSL's Executive Board should be qualified and representative of the diverse elements of the Association's membership including, but not limited to age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, geography, and areas and types of practice and have a willingness to commit time, energy and talents to BAMSL. We believe our recommended slate of candidates is reflective of that mission.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynn Ann Vogel
Chair, BAMSL Nominating Committee
