Roanoke as a Model for State School Accreditation

Our new member (and former Patrick Henry High teacher) Hank Bostwick, with co-writer Sarah Geddes, has written a Roanoke Times editorial addressing school accreditation tied to graduation rates. Take a look.

Interview with Bill Poff

Today's Roanoke Times has a profile of William B. Poff of Woods Rogers, this association's most recent Frank W. "Bo" Rogers Lifetime Achievement Award winner, and the "dean of Roanoke litigators." Mr. Poff's thoughts on firm loyalty and lawyer advertising are (in my opinion) particularly worth reading. Take a look at the online version even if you read this in print-- there are many additional quotes and audio clips not included in the print version.
