Nominees Join Board of Trustees in Uncontested Race

Candidates recently nominated by LACBA’s Nominating Committee have been deemed unanimously elected and will automatically join the board of trustees when its new term begins July 1, 2010. An uncontested race resulted when no additional candidates filed petitions to run for office against those nominated by the committee. According to the by-laws, in the event of an uncontested race, candidates nominated by the Nominating Committee automatically assume the positions for which they were nominated.

Officers are Eric A. Webber, president-elect; Richard J. Burdge Jr., senior vice president; and Patricia Egan Daehnke, vice president. The current president-elect, Alan K. Steinbrecher, automatically assumes the presidency on July 1. Officers serve one-year terms.

Six LACBA members joining the board as at-large trustees are Brian S. Currey, Linda L. Curtis, Jeffery J. Daar, Angela S. Haskins, Hon. Richard C. Neal (Ret.), and James R. Robie. Each at-large trustee term is two years.

Representing the open rotating affiliated bar association trustee positions are Annaluisa Padilla, Mexican American Bar Association, and Marrian S. Chang, Korean American Bar Association. These affiliate trustee terms are two years.
