Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! What better way to start off the new year than with your fellow MBAAA colleagues??

Join us on Thursday, January 18 at 11:00 a.m. and hear from District Court Judicial Candidate, Richard Foreman. Time will be reserved for Q&A. 

Every decision a judge makes can have last effects on the community. It is not only about the parties involved in civil disputes or the victims and defendants in criminal cases. Every decision a judge makes affects families, friends, businesses, and the safety and well-being of the community. To be a judge is an act of service. To be a judge you need the wisdom, experience, and strength to make the hard decisions that protect our constitutional rights and ensure our safety.
