PRESISLDENT'S CORNER

President Message

Dear D. Augustus Straker Bar Association Members, and
Supporters:

During the past few weeks, our daily lives have been
impacted in unexpected ways, by the novel coronavirus
(COVID-19). Please know that the health, safety, and
well-being of our members and our community are our
highest concern, as we all navigate through this global
health pandemic, which disproportionately affects our
community. Our hearts go out to those who are on the front
lines, and to all who have been affected, during this
unprecedented time.

The D. Augustus Straker Bar Association is committed
to ensuring the health and safety of our members, and the
community. We have postponed upcoming events, out of an abundance of caution,
and in compliance with Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Orders, and the
recommendations of the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. The Corporate Counsel Breakfast; Trailblazers Award and Scholarship
Dinner; Straker Presidents' Reception; Courtroom Etiquette Seminar; and the National
Bar Association Region VI Conference will be rescheduled at a later time.

Explore our website for the latest announcements and information. Contact us
at strakerlaw.org, with any questions, or to share news and announcements.
Best wishes for good health, safety and well-being.

In Service,
Kimberley Ann Ward, Esq.
President, D. Augustus Straker Bar Association
Deputy Director, National Bar Association Region VI
