The Bowling Green-Warren County Bar Association named new officers and board members at its annual membership meeting on Jan. 17. Aaron Smith was elected President by acclamation, as were the other members of a slate proposed by the bar board.
Smith said he wants to emphasize the collegiality of the local bar in future monthly meetings. Those meetings will be announced on a periodic basis after Jan. 17.
Smith tipped his hat to outgoing president Walter Hawkins, noting that the 2012 Law Day was held at the new SKYPAC; featured the unveiling of the portrait of Chief Justice John Minton; and was anchored by a speech from American Bar Association President Bill Robinson. "I'm not sure I can top that," Smith said.
