An inspiring start to the year at our January 27 Gate City Bar Association Installation.

President, Hon. Pierce Hand Seitz, and the GCBA Executive Board were sworn in, along with Judicial Section Chair, Hon. Coy J. Johnson Jr., and our Judicial Section officers, all taking their oath to serve Gate City and our legal community.

Surrounded by past presidents, members of the judiciary, government officials, and supporters of Gate City, the evening was a powerful reminder of our legacy and our future.

President Seitz announced this year's theme: "Rooted in our History. United in our Destiny."

Here's to a year of impact, service, and excellence.
