If you are a member of a bar association in America, chances are pretty good that you have benefitted from the good counsel of Chris Manos, the Executive Director of the State Bar of Montana. When bar association executives assemble for training and collaboration, Chris has volunteered his expertise in planning and mentoring for new executives. He was the Chair of the National Association of Bar Executives Chief Staff Executive Program Committee and new executive director orientation and Chair of the Program Committee for the mid-year and annual meetings. Chris is organized and understated, as befits a West Point graduate and retired Colonel in the Army Reserve. Chris has served as Executive Director since 2001, but he’s forward-looking in the best way, making sure the State Bar of Montana and its members are prepared for what’s next as law evolves.
