Wyoming State Bar Officers

The four officers of the Wyoming State Bar comprise the executive committee. Billie LM Addleman of Cheyenne will succeed Kelly M. Neville as president after the 2020 Annual Meeting. The president-elect, vice president, and treasurer are elected for one-year terms. Any active, resident member of the Wyoming State Bar may be nominated as a candidate for these three offices. The nominations must be signed by at least two active, resident members in good standing. There is no specific nomination form. A letter signed by two members will suffice; two separate letters will also work. Nominations must be filed with the Wyoming State Bar by 5:00 p.m., July 1, 2020. The president and president-elect cannot reside in the same judicial district; therefore, members from the First Judicial District are ineligible to run for President-Elect.
