Editor's Introduction
Transitions
By Dave Winnett
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is credited with the philosophical observation that everything is in flux and constantly changing, memorialized in his quotation: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.”  More >
Presidents Message
Change and Transformation
By Scott Buell
From Greek philosopher Heraclitus to Mahatma Gandhi to David Bowie to Taylor Swift, the great thinkers and/or pop stars of their times appear to agree the only constant in life is change; and that change needs to be embraced head on. But really how much change is there at the Marin County Bar Association? We had a change in the Presidency this year, but we transition to a new President every year. Likewise, the make-up of the Board of Directors changes annually by roughly one third.  More >
