Mentoring helps others learn, grow and become more effective in their career and life. Through your wisdom and good will, you can help share your knowledge with a less experienced colleague. The CBA has a variety of mentoring opportunities– please take the time this year to coach, inspire, and motivate someone who needs guidance and assistance. They will be better and you will be a better person because of the mentoring gift you are giving. For a list of CBA mentoring programs, go to www.chicagobar.org/ mentoring.

needed mentoring programs in Cook County; and contribute to the “Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession” (IILP), which is being incubated by the Association to help advance inclusive- ness and diversity in the legal profession. These are only a few of many options members have to support worthy pro- grams that help our community. • I am asking every member to create a “legacy” by giving your time and talent in service to the Association and to the legal profession. As lawyers we have a duty and responsibility to serve and advance the highest goals of the legal profession. We can do this by volunteer- ing to do one of the following: working to improve the administration of our courts, working to increase access to justice programs for those who can’t afford counsel, and by giving generously of our time and talent to help make our community a better place for all. With your help we will succeed in keep- ing the Chicago Bar Association a strong and vital force within the legal profession and in our community. Thank you and please let me know your thoughts and sug- gestions to improve our Association during the coming bar year.
