Interested in Section Leadership?
Each section is led by a group of volunteers who are elected to serve on the executive committee. Many find leading a section to be a rewarding experience because of the leadership growth, professional development, firsthand experience with the legislative
process, and collegiality it offers. Executive committee discussions are productive and challenging, offering a unique opportunity to work with other legal professionals in a goal-oriented setting that benefits WSBA members and the greater legal community.
Executive committee terms begin Oct. 1, 2023, and sections accept applications for the following year in early spring. Consider applying to become a section leader!

Webinar: What to Expect Under the New Administration in Health Care
New administrations are taking the helm at the federal and state levels, often with opposing views on legal and policy priorities. New and sometimes conflicting directives impact patients, providers, and health care organizations. Plans at the federal level to curtail Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement could significantly impact access to care. The purpose of this webinar is to update health care attorneys on emerging issues and provide practical considerations for them as they counsel their clients. Areas that will be covered include immigration enforcement, reproductive health, gender affirming care, and government payment programs.
