    Wisconsin Lawyer August 2001: Annual Report 2001- Message from the Executive Director

Improving Service to Members

George BrownState Bar leadership streamlined its functions during FY01 to better serve the growing needs of the association. The Board of Governors and Executive Committee clarified their roles to ensure that they were working as efficiently and effectively as possible, consistent with the strategic planning recommendations begun in 1997. The board became a more deliberative body, serving more in the legislative or policy-making mode, while the Executive Committee assumed greater responsibility for implementing board policies. Beginning in FY02, the committee will be comprised of 13 members, including one public member. The Executive Committee now is more fairly representative of the board.

Internally, we worked on improving the delivery of our products and services by selecting a new association management software package (iMIS) and a new financial and accounting system. iMIS will help the Bar collect, organize, and deliver information more efficiently and effectively to the membership, as well as streamline internal operations. Dynamics will assist in better management and reporting of State Bar financial resources and operations. Implementation of the new software is scheduled for fall 2001.

This technology will provide the foundation for Web access and delivery of future Bar products and services, including the future ability to enable members to customize the delivery of content on WisBar, including personal CLE attendance records. The State Bar is committed to delivering relevant products and services to serve its members while maintaining control of costs.
