Briefly...
A Word from the
Executive Director By Kit Kasner
Thank you to 2023’s TPCBA President Heather Swann for her work and time ensuring a successful year. Thank you to our outgoing Board of Trustees, committee chairs, co-chairs and members, as well as section
presidents...THANK YOU TPCBA volunteers, for your hard work throughout the 2023 year. We welcome our new 2024 TPCBA President, Catherine Case and her new Board. The gavel will be passed to Catherine at the Lincoln Day Banquet on February 9. Please plan to attend our 116th annual event. Flyer is on page 15.
Don’t forget to go online and pay your 2024 membership dues (or send them in). If you have a courthouse ID badge you will need a TPCBA 2024 sticker, which will be sent when your dues are received. Once you pay your dues your card will still need to be activated internally by Security. From the Bar’s desk to theirs it takes around 3 days, once we receive your payment. Need help maneuvering around our website? Looking for something or trying to log
in for the first time? Call our Web Coordinator, Laurie, at 253 841-8410 for assistance.
Don’t have a courthouse ID badge? Call 253 272-8871 or email director@ tpcba.com to make an appointment to have your photo taken and a new badge issued. It takes just 5 minutes. Working with courthouse security, we take photos once per month, so connect with us to make an appointment and get your name on that list.
When you complete your membership form, please consider signing up to serve on our Lawyer Referral Panel too (see pages 31 and 36). Being a LRS panel member helps those in our community get timely access to experienced attorneys; helps you and your firm get access to possible new clients, and if your firm is hired 10% of the fees paid to you helps support and maintain our Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) and the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association.
As we move along in 2024 please let us know if you have any thoughts about our services, CLEs, programs, website, magazine, etc. We love to hear from our membership. Connect with the Bar office or Board of Trustees. Perhaps you would like to attend one of our monthly Trustees meetings or write an article for our Pierce County Lawyer Magazine. Visit our website at TPCBA. com for all the latest information.
See you all at the Lincoln Day Banquet!
