FROM THE Erie County Bar Foundation
Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe that a full year has passed since I became President of the Erie County Bar Foundation. My time as President came at a unique point in history, the first full year after the pandemic. The year saw a great increase in applicants. I am pleased to say that the Foundation was able to help all of them through the unwavering support of our Board members and donors. The MAP program which is now one year old has been widely used. It has been a fantastic tool and resource for all of our members. I am also pleased to say that the Foundation is financially healthy thanks not only to all of you who have donated but to the guidance of our wonderful staff, without whom the Foundation would not function. This year also saw the continuation of our involvement with UB Law School. We held several events for the students, introducing them to both the Bar Association and the Foundation. The challenges facing the legal community are great and we are here to help. As always, the interaction with the Foundation is confidential and provides a safe haven for attorneys in need. In closing, I would like to thank the entire Board and staff of the Foundation who have made this a memorable year for me and without whom I would not have been able to do my job. It is with gratitude and a bit of melancholy that I say goodbye to this chapter and wish your incoming President, Kevin Spitler, all the best.
