• Retired Nyemaster attorney and past ISBA president Jay Eaton, who participated in a panel discussion and question-and-answer session providing “Practical Knowledge for Retirement.”
• Rebecca A. Miller, who gave “An Overview of the New Tax Law.”
• Leslie Behaunek, who spoke on a panel about “Gender Matters: Practical Solutions for Tackling Bias and Unprofessional Conduct in the Iowa Legal Profession.”

Nyemaster attorney Kathleen Law served as co-chair of the ISBA’s annual meeting.

“We’re proud to play an active role supporting ISBA’s efforts to educate and advance Iowa’s legal community,” said Michael Thrall, Nyemaster Goode chairman. “As we embark on our next century, the perspective and knowledge of the ISBA will be even more important to our attorneys and clients than it was during our first 100 years.”
