Following up on my December 6 post, I include below an update from AALS Section on Business Associations Chair (and friend-of-the-BLPB) Jessica Erickson relating to the upcoming AALS annual meeting elections for the Section on Business Associations.  I am impressed by the slate and know our section leadership will remain in capable hands!  I hope to see many of you on Zoom at one or more of the section programs, including the main program (described in my December 6 post) at which the voting for next year’s leadership will take place.

Dear members of the AALS Business Associations Section:

I am emailing to update you on the proposed slate for the AALS Business Associations Section’s Executive Committee. We have a great list of people who will be joining the section’s leadership. I am rotating off as chair at the end of the annual meeting, and Jim Park (our chair-elect) will automatically become the new chair. Mira Ganor has agreed to serve as next year’s chair-elect. Thanks to both Jim and Mira for their service to our section!

We also have three members rotating off the Executive Committee – Matt Jennejohn, Dana Brakman Reiser, and Andrew Verstein. We are very thankful for their service as well! As a result of these changes, we have four openings on the Executive Committee. After soliciting nominations from our membership, we have a slate of four new members that we will vote on in a brief business meeting at the end of our main session at the annual meeting. This slate includes:

* George Georgiev of Emory University School of Law;
* Summer Kim of the University of California, Irvine School of Law;
* Christina Sautter of the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Louisiana State University; and
* Omari Scott Simmons of Wake Forest Law School

Thanks to all of you for your work on behalf of the section, and I hope you all have a fabulous break.

Best,
Jessica Erickson
Chair, AALS Business Associations Section
