Last night, we came together to celebrate Jim Kruer, who has served as the LABG Board President from 2002-2024. After 22 years of leadership, Jim is stepping down from his role as President, but his impact will continue to resonate throughout LABG. The Celebration of Service was filled with familiar faces and reflections on the difference Jim has made over the years. From guiding the organizations vision to mentoring aspiring legal professionals, and always reminding everyone how appreciated they are, Jim has helped shape LABG into what it is today. Although he is stepping down from this role, we are excited that Jim will continue to serve on the LABG Board. Here's to you Jim! Thank you for all you have done for LABG. 👏

Today, we continue our #ProBonoWeek series by shining a spotlight on our dedicated volunteers in the Ashland and Morehead regions who serve our rural communities. With fewer attorneys available in these areas, their pro bono service becomes even more vital for those in need. These volunteers are not only providing essential legal services, but also ensuring that justice is a reality to everyone, regardless of their location. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of people in rural Kentucky!
