The complete results:

The final position, Director of Legal Education, will be appointed in May. The new board will be sworn in during the ABA Virtual Annual Meeting in August.
If news of an appointment comes before then, we’ll bring it to you.
UPDATE! On April 28, we got news of the appointment of the Director of Legal Education. We’re happy to add Dr. Michelle Bodden-White, a 2L from Albany Law School, to our council leadership. She has a doctorate in education and is a children’s book author. Learn more about her in this podcast from Albany Law School.
And congratulations to all of our newly elected leaders!
