Become The MCBA Treasurer!

MCBA is recruiting for a new treasurer to join the board. After temporarily serving as co-treasurers for the past year, Erika Williams and Megan Pechmann have decided to discontinue their service by August 1, 2026. The treasurer plays a key role in overseeing MCBA’s financial health, supporting budget development, and ensuring clear and accurate financial reporting to the Board. This is a great opportunity for someone who is organized, collaborative, and interested in a leadership role in the legal community. This position is not an elected position, and therefore, there is no expiration on service. Applicants do not need to be attorneys or members of the Marion County Bar Association. If you know individuals who may be a strong fit – or if you are interested yourself – please contact:    Member@marioncountybar.org.
