The Pulaski County Bar Association’s October Monthly Meeting and Luncheon will feature a panel discussion on “Pathways to Public Service and Political Office.”

The panel will bring together attorneys with experience in elected office, public service and political campaigns to discuss the realities of pursuing public office and serving in government. Topics will include why attorneys choose to enter public service, what attorneys should consider before running for office, and the challenges and opportunities that come with a career in public service.

Panelists will include Will Bond, attorney and managing partner at McMath Woods P.A.; Rep. Ashley Hudson, attorney and member of the Arkansas House of Representatives; Rep. Jimmy Gazaway, attorney and member of the Arkansas House of Representatives; and Antwan Phillips, attorney and at-large member of the Little Rock Board of Directors. Kendra Pruitt, attorney and former Chief of Staff for the City of Little Rock, will serve as moderator.

The discussion is designed to provide attorneys with an inside look at public service and the path from practicing law to serving in elected or appointed positions.

This has been submitted for one (1) hour of CLE.
