Lessons from a Pioneer |
| by BBA President Carol A. Starkey |
| As the year comes to a close, I want you all to know that it has been a joy, an honor, and a truly life changing experience to serve as your President of the Boston Bar Association, particularly during this challenging time in our country’s history. I am proud of all that we accomplished this year, despite those challenges, but there is still so much work left to do. |
