Jennifer S. Wagner, Stoll Berne PC, President, about the year ahead: “It is an honor to serve on the MBF Board.

J. Mackenzie Hogan, Harris & Bowker LLP, Vice President: “The MBF is taking a bold step with the launch of CourtSupport, and I am very excited to be a small part of that process.

I am quite honored to be part of it. I am also hopeful the MBF and our legal friends can bring innovative ideas, financial support, and possibly highly trained courthouse comfort dogs to further the important goal of access to justice. This is the year to get involved and make a difference, so stay tuned to see what MBF has in store.”
