[WSBAPT] Post of Gratitude for this List

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

I joined this section about 5 years ago.  Because of the collegiality I
saw, I began to volunteer my time back to the WSBA. I did so because of the
continuous giving nature of members of this section and their willingness
to step forward with ideas, suggestions, recommendations, guidance.

Last week, I posted a query pertaining to a Will changing beneficiary
designations as I was contacted by a client to help with a last minute
Will.

I have to recognize the outpouring of support from those who posted
responses to the list, who wrote to me privately, and who called me into
the night to talk about issues relating to helping with "deathbed"
bequests.  I left the world of insurance coverage because I wanted to have
a better impact on the world. What occurred last week is exactly why I do
what I do.

I don't know everything - far from it - and once again the people on this
List have stepped forward in a way that is truly demonstrable of the
community that we are as colleagues.

To any young/new practitioners who are reading this. Never be afraid to
post. Never hesitate to reach out and say you don't know something. The
members of this section will step up as they are able to share their
experiences, knowledge, forms, proposed languages, pitfalls, warnings. In
short - this section has your back.

If you do not follow WSBA matters closely, you may not know that this past
Fall I assumed the role of Governor of the 8th District to the WSBA Board
of Governors (feel free to send any thoughts on bar issues/matters to
my designated BOG email brentwr.bog at gmail.com). I took that step forward
because I want to continue to give back to the legal community as a whole
and have the same impact on our profession as so many of you have for me.
As one of my liaison assignments, I specifically requested the RPPT section
so that I can advocate and represent the people of this section to the
greater WSBA world.  So please, if you have any issues with the WSBA - send
me a message to the above-email and I will promise to look into it for you.

Cheers to the start of a new week!
