From September 7 through 9, members of the SCBA delegation will be out in force at the State Bar Annual Meeting and Conference of Delegates to support its positions on the 107 resolutions to the conference. Two resolutions were proposed by the SCBA and authored by Jay-Allen Eisen, noted appellate lawyer, longstanding SCBA member and former chair of the Conference. The delegation chair is W. Stuart Home, III, a Conference veteran and SCBA council member-at-large.

As we prepare to leave for the sun and fun of Anaheim, I am reminded that there are many ways in which SCBA members interface with the Conference of Delegates. As immediate past chair of the Conference of Delegates, Diane Wasznicky continues to be active. Joan Stone serves on the resolutions committee. Patricia Hart Jorgensen serves on the calendar coordinating committee, keeping the Conference on schedule. Meanwhile, Michelle Riemer will be keeping order and counting close votes as a sergeant-at-arms.

The SCBA delegation will caucus and lunch at noon. All SCBA members are welcome in the hospitality suite on Friday and Saturday.

At the State Bar Annual Meeting on September 6 through 9, sections, commissions and committees offer numerous MCLE seminars. SCBA council member-at-large Stacy Boulware Eurie begins her term on the executive committee of the litigation section. If you are a litigator talk to Stacy or me about the benefits of membership in the litigation or business sections.

As Jay Greiner's term on the State Bar Board of Governors ends, Windie Scott will be sworn in as District 2 Governor. Windie will be a wonderful representative for Sacramento and all of District 2. She is sure to infuse her term with the wisdom and enthusiasm that have marked her professional and self-confessed "Bar Junkie" career to date.

Our District 2 representative is our closest link to the State Bar. The recent Brosterhous decision makes it more difficult for direct participation by your local bar association. However, each member of the Board of Governors is a telephone call or email message away and the SCBA website www.sacbar.org is one "click" away from the State Bar website.

The presidents of the 8 largest metropolitan bar associations met recently with the Board of Governors to discuss local concerns. Carol Prosser and I joined the presidents and executive directors of the Orange County, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, San Diego, Alameda, Santa Clara County Bar Associations and the Bar Association of San Francisco, to address the Board and meet with individual governors and key State Bar staff.

If you are attending the meeting this year and I have forgotten to include you, please tell me, forgive me and meet me at the hospitality suite for a toast (on me) to clear thinking and long-
lasting memories.

See you at Disneyland!
