At DRI’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Seattle, Immediate Past President Patrick J. Sweeney surpised me with a Leadership Award for my service as chair of the DRI Center for Law and Public Policy I was privileged to chair The Center during 2023 and 2024, when 150 exceptionally knowledgeable and dedicated DRI members, through committees, task forces, and working groups, adressed many legal and policy issues important to civil defense lawyers and their clients.
“The DRI Center for Law and Public Policy is deeply indebted to its outgoing chair, Larry Ebner, for his tremendous leadership. Under Larry’s guidance, the Center has experienced an unprecedented period of growth and productivity,” said Center Director Jay Ludlam. “It has been an honor to collaborate closely with him and I look forward to doing so in other capacities.”
