You may recall that we sent a notice in October seeking expressions of interest from members to fill the vacancy created when Joan Dawson (Eastern District) resigned as a Bencher effective 26 September 2019.

Benchers had many worthy candidates to choose from as a total of 16 members sought appointment. We are now pleased to announce that Benchers have appointed Lauren Chafe to fill the vacancy until June 2020, at which time Lauren can stand for election for a four year term.

We would like to thank all members who expressed interest in the role.
