“One of the greatest things about
living and working in the Mountain
State is the sense of shared pride
we have as West Virginians. It’s a
tie that binds us and propels us to
action to create an even greater
place to live. That’s why it’s critical
to take the time to highlight positive
progress made like that showcased
at the Lawyers & Leaders reception.
We are often inundated with negativity,
and I welcome seeing the good that’s
happening. These are our neighbors,
colleagues and friends dedicating
themselves to making change in our
great state, and it’s worth celebrating.”

“I cherish living and working in
West Virginia because of the pride
our people share, as well as their
determination to improve the state’s
economy for a better tomorrow. The
Lawyers & Leaders reception modeled
how such accomplishments should
be celebrated in the Mountain State.
It was exciting to witness a cross-
section of attorneys from around West
Virginia come together to support
this event.”

“Events like West Virginia Executive
magazine’s Lawyers & Leaders
reception showcase the hard work of
those who are making a difference in
West Virginia. We should celebrate the
hard work and accomplishments of
the honorees of this awards program
because they serve as motivators
for others who aspire to be leaders.”
