Anderson Chair 1994-95 Thanks to the hard work of our members and staff, your Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division Is now a per- manent entity within the American Bar Association. We had to earn that perma- nency status. The requirement was that we had to increase by ten percent the total number of government lawyer sec- tion memberships from 1990 to 1994. We almost doubled that requirement. So, we owe ourselves a well done. And we also owe ourselves a well done for our Division's membership growth. As of September, our total membership reached 4,667 (including 784 law students and 34 associates). But we ought not forget that perma- nence without continuing growth in membership-and without growing ser- vice for that membership-doesn't mean much. Membership growth remains job one for our Division and I hope all members will do what they can to help us recruit. I'll be reporting to you through- out the year on our membership devel- opment progress. continued on page 4 Volume 4, No. 1 ANNUAL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
