president’s message
cheerfully handled, so I could attend yet another Atlanta
Bar function. He also reviewed drafts of many President’s
messages and speeches, offering helpful suggestions and
advice. And of course, my law firm, Hunton & Williams,
where I have practiced for nearly 25 years, and so many
great colleagues, provided much needed support. I will be
glad to see them more now that I am in the office more.
As I continue to write thank-you notes to the many people
who have written me, I am beginning to realize what a
fabulous experience this has been, although the full impact
may not set in for some time.

My advice to Lynn Roberson as she begins her presidency,
and to those who will follow her, is to be true to yourself
and be a good steward of the Association. There will be
much focus on you, as President, and you should enjoy the
opportunities afforded you. However, I strongly believe that
our agenda should always be on what is in the best interest
of the Atlanta Bar Association and all of its Members. That
was my agenda during the past year. And I am confident it
is yours as well. I sincerely hope that time will tell that 20112012 was a successful year for the Atlanta Bar Association.
I extend my heartfelt thanks for affording me this special
opportunity to serve you as President of the Atlanta Bar
Association. I look forward to seeing you at Atlanta Bar
events during the coming year.
