A New Membership Year, A New You! (A letter from the Executive Director) Welcome back members for another year of affiliation, professional development, and community action with the Tulsa County Bar Association. Most people choose to start new habits at the beginning of a new year, and it could not be a better time for the Military & Veterans Committee’s new campaign aimed at getting members moving all the while raising awareness and funds for the Tulsa County Veterans Treatment Court. Judge Guten and Mitchell Garrett have created an easy to follow virtual fitness challenge that kicks off Veterans Day, November 11th and everyone who signs up by November 10th will receive a complimentary #TCBAVETS tee! Check out page 16 for more information.
30 Minutes is only 2% of your day!
I’m also pleased to continue offering free weekly virtual yoga and pilates with NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Yoga Instructor, Toni Meeks. All you need is a yoga mat or towel to get in 30 minutes of movement right in your office!
Thirty minutes of moderate exercise a day is proven to reduce stress, boost your mood, improve memory, increase productivity, and improve your heart health. The human body was designed to move, and, when it lacks enough movement, the results can include mood disorders, poor physical health, and accelerated aging. TCBA is making wellness a priority, and we are making it easy. I hope you will join me and commit to health and wellness activities in the new membership year. Tami Williams TCBA Executive Director
