Attorney Kevin Lyons Runs for State Bar President-Elect

Litigation and Mediation attorney, Kevin Lyons accepted the State Bar of Wisconsin’s nomination to run for 2015 president-elect.

“Better Together is the essence of the multiple purposes our Supreme Court established for the State Bar. If elected, I will work to make us all better together through professional and business education and member services. I will work with Section and Board of Governors elected leaders and the State Bar staff to engage our diverse membership in defining and addressing professional and economic challenges we all face. When we become better lawyers, we better serve our clients, be they individuals, businesses, or governments.”

Initiatives

• Engage Wisconsin lawyers — in whatever setting they practice — in defining professional and economic problems we face and in proposing solutions to form a plan for implementation beginning in my term as President.
• Ensure that State Bar volunteers and staff reflect the diverse culture in which we work.
• Increase percent of budget provided by revenue from State Bar business activities, and keep budget in the black.
• Maintain and improve member services.
