Johnson County Bar Association

This week, our Probate Section and Senior Section came together for a delightful joint meeting and happy hour at Coaches in Overland Park. Charles Andres led a thorough discussion, providing valuable insights into key probate legislation currently under consideration by the House and Senate in Topeka, along with a summary of recent appellate court decisions in Kansas that impact our field. A special thank you to Tiffannie Kennedy and The Probate Law Center for generously sponsoring this fantastic event. We also want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Tiffannie on the opening of her first Johnson County office, located in the Meadowbrook office park at 95th and Nall. #jocobar #addinglifetoyourpractice #kansascity #barassociation #kc #johnsoncounty #lawyer #law #attorney #legal #lawfirm #lawyerlife #lawyers #lawyersofinstagram #lawschool #lawstudent #attorneyatlaw #attorneys #litigation #lawyering #lawstudents #legalservices #legalnews #legaladvice

This week, our Vice President, Ashlynn Yarnell, and Executive Director, Kevin Breer, represented us at the American Bar Association’s Bar Leadership Institute in Chicago. This prestigious event has been a staple for our leadership team for several years, providing invaluable preparation for their roles on the Executive Committee and as President of our bar association. The leadership training encompassed a wide array of essential topics, including effective communication, conflict resolution, project organization, issues pertinent to young lawyers, strategic and succession planning, storytelling techniques, and methods to enhance the value of our bar association. Additionally, the Bar Leadership Institute serves as an excellent platform for networking with fellow bar executives and leaders, fostering an environment where ideas can be exchanged and best practices shared. This experience not only enhances our leadership capabilities but also strengthens our commitment to serving our members effectively. #jocobar #addinglifetoyourpractice #kansascity #barassociation #kc #johnsoncounty #lawyer #law #attorney #legal #lawfirm #lawyerlife #lawyers #lawyersofinstagram #lawschool #lawstudent #attorneyatlaw #attorneys #litigation #lawyering #lawstudents #legalservices #legalnews #legaladvice
