Kern County Paralegal Association

As I approach the end of my first term as your President, I am filled with sadness that I will not be returning next year. When I initially took on the President position, it was my goal to spend the next couple of years locked-and-loaded so that I could see so many of my ideas come to fruition. However, it has been a reality-check for me that becoming a mommy for the first time is going to take a lot more from me than I anticipated. In any event, I will not be far from reach. After I spend the next few months adjusting to this whole new world and getting more acquainted with the newest love of my life, I fully intend to return to the background and be involved as much as possible.

With that in mind, elections for the 2012-2013 Board are underway. We have not been able to fill the position for President, nor do we have a nominee, so I strongly urge any one who is qualified to serve to seriously consider running. (To qualify to serve, you must have previously served on the KCPA Board for at least 2 years, in any capacity.) As I mentioned above, I will be around in the background as Board Advisor when I return from maternity leave, so you will not be serving alone. I promise you that being President is extremely fulfilling and well-worth your time. Please contact either me or Justin Madding if you are compelled to serve, or if you have any questions or concerns about running for President.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms, and everyone be sure to stay cool and hydrated as these summer months begin to creep up on us.
