At the October HCBA Membership Meeting, speakers on the state's new electronic filing system and the new administrative procedures for Mississippi Electronic Courts were Clint Pentecost with the Mississippi Supreme Court; Madison Chancery Clerk Arthur S Johnson, III; and  Chief Justice William L. Waller, Jr.  They are pictured with Tom Alexander, HCBA President.

At the October Membership Meeting several past presidents celebrated 20 years of service by Executive Director Patricia Evans.  She was presented with long stem roses from the presidents.

Thank You from Pat Evans:

"I was quite astounded to find myself being featured in the October HCBA Newsletter for serving twenty years as Executive Director. I joked that finally I had become a centerfold (which has been a secret goal). The article was very generous in its praise and I couldn’t help but be flattered. I also loved all the pictures that brought back many wonderful memories from the various events over the years.

"The October HCBA Membership Meeting provided an additional surprise for me when the presidents presented me with a bouquet of long-stemmed roses and a beautiful fall arrangement.

"Each one of the presidents was a delight to work with and individually spent so much of their time on behalf of the bar and the legal profession. Their contributions are to be lauded and I’m just glad to have gotten to tag along.

"It has been my pleasure to be part of the HCBA and thank you for the recognition."
