Kirby Drake Chairs Dallas Bar Association Annual Education Symposium
Dallas, TX, December 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Kirby Drake, partner at Klemchuk Kubasta LLP (KK LLP), a leading full-service intellectual property (IP) law firm, served as Chair for the 2012 Dallas Bar Association (DBA) Annual Education Symposium on October 29. This event was held at the Belo Mansion in downtown Dallas.
“The DBA is very supportive of the Dallas ISD and has several long-standing programs with the DISD that are focused on improving the lives and education of our children,” said Drake. “These include our Texas High School Mock Trial Program, Law Day, our Summer Law Intern Program, our e-mentoring program, and of course, this Symposium. We want to help make a difference for the students of DISD.”
The DBA Education Symposium is a half-day event focused on the partnership between the DBA and the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). The Symposium offered educational sessions on topics currently affecting the school system including elements for reforming public education, developing transformational school leaders, getting involved and making an impact, as well as a student panel on what kids want/need. Senator Royce West provided the luncheon keynote address discussing issues related to school finance, and the DBA presented the Jack Lowe, Sr. Award for Community Leadership to Vickery Meadow Learning Center.
“It was an honor to chair the Education Symposium. Through the Symposium, we try to start and continue a discussion about how everyone from business leaders to local politicians, educators at every level, our religious community, our parents --- really every person in our community -- should be committed to making sure that public education for all children is the very best it can be. We had a great turnout this year with fantastic speakers, and I look forward to the continued success of this Symposium.”
