Candidate for Director:
Jamie Martinez
My name is Jamie Martinez, I am an attorney at Ropers Majeski, and I am declaring my candidacy for FBANC Operations Director. As I am sure you already know, FBANC has accomplished so much, including being recognized as NAPABA's 2020 Affiliate of the Year. My goal is to contribute to FBANC's continued success, and continuing to make an impact on our community.
As FBANC's Operations Director, it is important to keep as many people informed of the various legal issues within our community, as well as FBANC events. In light of the COVID pandemic, it has been more important to reach as many as possible, by making FBANC’s presence felt. As FBANC's Operations Director, I promise to work with the FBANC Board to ensure that each and every one of you is always up to date with what FBANC is working on.
Over the past year, I have contributed to FBANC's communications by assisting behind the scenes with FBANC's Instagram and Facebook pages. As FBANC's Operations Director, I will be able to use what I know and do my part to take FBANC’s operations into the next level. As a former APALSA President in law school, I know about making sure a group operates smoothly and effectively. We are in the midst of a movement on racial justice, with hate crimes amongst the AAPI community, as well as the injustices against Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color who are disproportionately impacted by systemic racism. FBANC has a long history on civil rights, and will I would like to expand and promote its continued efforts in addressing these issues.
As FBANC’s Operations Director, you can expect a fresh take of FBANC’s online presence, and ensure that you will always be able to know what FBANC has in store for each and every one of you. If elected, I promise to ensure that FBANC operates smoothly and that the community as a whole is aware of what FBANC is doing. I have the drive, integrity, and flexibility to represent FBANC as an Operations Director. I will work on finding the most effective means to facilitate providing the necessary support, advice, and mentorship that each member needs to achieve their vision of success. Thank you for your consideration.
