Michael Ford '70 to Lead Minnesota State Bar

Michael Ford '70 will lead the Minnesota State Bar as of Monday, July 1.  Ford has served as president-elect over the past year and now becomes the first St. Cloud lawyer to assume the leadership role.

"Obviously I 'm personally gratified that I've gotten this opportunity," Ford said in a St. Cloud Times article on Sunday, June 15.  "As far as the area, St. Cloud and the whole Seventh Judicial District has always been important for the bar association.  I see it as a continuation of the tradition that the (local) bar association carries with it."
