duties to the CBA, YLS, and work seemed overwhelming. It certainly was a major time commitment taking me away from family. Kaitlin was extremely supportive of the role and dedication to the YLS. Thank you so much for understanding and allowing me the opportunity to serve. As my year as Chair draws to a close, I invite you to participate in our Walk a Mile event on May 28, 2015 and to join me at the YLS annual luncheon on June 10, 2015, and welcome Matt Passen as Chair of the YLS. Although the year is almost over, you still have time to participate and give back to the community. I have nothing but love and appreciation for the YLS, its members, and everything its stands for. I wish you the best! Thank you for allowing me to be a member and for giving me the chance to serve you as Chair .

In 2003, I moved to Chicago for law s chool without family and friends. Over time, the CBA and its members have become my family. I am thankful for every- one I have met and known over the years. The CBA offered a warm and inviting arena to learn, socialize, and network. Thank you to Terry Murphy, Beth McMeen, and all past Presidents and Chairs for paving the way for future Chairs and YLS members. As a YLS member, I have had the fortune of meeting a Supreme Court Justice, Appel- late Court Justices, and countless Judges. I have coordinated numerous projects and organized presentations. I am thank- ful for each social event and networking opportunity. But I am most thankful that I met my wife Kaitlin after a YLS poker tournament. Neither Kaitlin nor I fully understood what this year would entail. My

law school classmates and more.
