Welcome to the Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division!

Gwendolyn D. Hodge, 2009-2010 GPSLD Chair

Gwendolyn D. Hodge
GPSLD Chair
2009-2010

I am honored to serve as Chair of the Division for 2009-2010. I first became involved with the Division's Council when I served as the Young Lawyers Division liaison in 1999. Enthusiastic about continuing my work with GPSLD, I ran for a council seat in 2001 and was elected an officer in 2006.

After ten years, I am still excited to be a member of the Division's Council and thrilled about the programs and offerings the Division plans to roll out during my year as chair. If you have any comments or questions for me or the Division, please send us an email using the ‘feedback’ link located to the right of this message.
