New Horizons: Thank you MCBA for this Journey

Mee Mee Wong

Dear MCBA Members,

It feels like just yesterday that someone asked me, "How long have you served as the Marin County Bar Association Executive Director?" Yet, here I am, reflecting on an incredible and fulfilling journey spanning an amazing TEN years!

This incredible experience has been shaped by the leadership of TEN amazing MCBA Presidents and the tireless efforts of the Officers and Board of Directors. Their dedication marked by the investment of time, resources, and unwavering support—has been the driving force behind MCBA's growth and expansion

Our members have played a pivotal role in this journey, leading sections, chairing committees, delivering content-rich programs, supporting the MCBA Legal Scholarship Fund, attending socials, and fostering a welcoming environment for new members. The annual program sponsors, in particular, have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to the organization.

As I embark on a new adventure as the Chief Operating Officer at Altair Law in San Francisco, I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as your Executive Director. I hope to stay connected with all of you because you have become more than just colleagues – you are friends

I will miss the camaraderie and shared experiences at MCBA. We are fortunate to have Theresa Hurley serving as the Interim Executive Director; she is the former Executive Director of the Contra Costa Bar Association, stepping in seamlessly during this transitional period and search process.

I am deeply moved by the commitment to legal access and justice exhibited by our Marin Superior Court bench and our Court Executive. They navigated the challenges of the pandemic with resilience, keeping our sections informed about the evolving needs of the court

It has been a privilege to know each one of you, to share humorous stories, and, of course, to remind you to renew your membership – it's that time of the year again. MCBA is not just any bar association; we have a unique history that sets us apart.

A special shoutout to Denise Belli and Kiersten Ross (Opposite of Work) for their unwavering dedication and support throughout the years, making every event and issue of the Marin Lawyer memorable and more. Also, a heartfelt thank you to MCBA President Ahtossa Fullerton and incoming MCBA President Scott Buell for their understanding and support in this transition

Thank you for being an integral part of this chapter of my life. Here's to new beginnings and continued success for MCBA!

With gratitude,

Mee Mee
