Make Your Move

Wait, I cannot believe it is Spring already. It feels like it was just Christmas and we are all still saying, “Happy New Year” to one another. This month as you look through your Tulsa Lawyer Magazine, embrace the call of spring, the vibrant and vast array of colors of life, and the warmth of having great friends, colleagues, and family to share memories.

With the focus of this month’s edition being on our judiciary, let’s remember that kindness and appreciation goes a long way. If you practice often before a particular judge or have a particular judge that has made a positive impact in your life, take a moment to thank them for their servant leadership.

Also, spring is a great time for us to reconnect with other colleagues that may not be a part of the TCBA. Being a part of this community of attorneys is both an honor and a privilege. This March, take an opportunity to engage a colleague who is on your mind, or a TU Law student, or maybe a mentee and invite them to a fun TCBA event or outing. I have had a blast bowling with colleagues on Thursday evenings during the TCBA’s league play. Laughing and relaxing with colleagues and our families after a long workday has truly been good for my mind, body and spirit.

It’s truly your move, so make it! Leadership is not always about chairing a committee. It can also be as simple as reconnecting with a friend and bringing them to a TCBA committee’s event so that they can experience the same fun, laughter, and relaxation.

As always, if you have ideas to share, would like to serve on a committee, or have a TCBA project or program you would like to see highlighted, please reach out to me or Tami Williams.
