The Arkansas Bar Association (ArkBar) is excited to reveal its new logo that is being released in conjunction with its new governance structure. “As we transition and move the association forward, we believe the new logo reflects our dedicated and diverse membership,” said Karen K. Hutchins, Executive Director.
ArkBar is moving forward to meet future statewide expectations by rolling out its new governance structure. The new governance structure creates a single Board of Trustees consisting of 15 statewide districts. The new trustees were elected in May and began serving at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Trustees during the association’s virtual annual meeting in June.
“The new governance structure will allow the association to be more responsive, as the legal profession continues to meet the challenges that require quicker responses and increased technology in the practice of law,” Hutchins said.
The new logo was designed by Mangan Holcomb Partners.
