KERRI STRUG TO SPEAK AT THE 2023 BENCH BAR CONFERENCE

Mark your calendars–the 2023 Bench Bar Conference will be held September 21-23 at Skytop Lodge in the Pocono Mountains and this year’s conference is shaping up to be the best one yet! The Bench Bar Committee is thrilled to announce that Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Strug will be the Plenary Session speaker at this year’s conference!

Kerri is a personal friend of Bucks County Bar Association President Larry Scheetz. Kerri and Larry attended a Semester at Sea together during their college years and because of their friendship, Kerri has graciously agreed to come and speak to the Bucks County Bar Association membership at our annual conference.

Kerri Strug, member of the Magnificent Seven, is a two-time Olympian, gold medalist and Hall of Fame Inductee. As the youngest athlete at the 1992 Olympics at age 14, she captured America’s spirit. Four years later at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta after shocking spectators by falling & injuring her ankle on her first vault, she managed to stick the landing on her second vault before collapsing in pain, helping to secure gold for the American team. It was a moment that landed Kerri on the front page of newspapers around the world & catapulted her into the spotlight. Kerri’s emotional performance has earned a variety of awards and accolades, from the Olympic Spirit Award to a spot on the Wheaties cereal box.
