From the PresidentBAR-0-METER - JULY 2023 Page 2Scott Hill Q: What aspects of your experience and background do you think will help make you a good WBAPresident?I sit here today as a representative example of what the average lawyer in Wichita, Kansas looks like in 2023. I am 44 years old. I’m in the heart of my career with significant client responsibility. I’m married to a spousewho has a full-time active (legal) career. I have two kids who are active in school and sports. I’ve taken onthe responsibility of being managing partner at my law firm. I try to be involved in the community. And Itake on this responsibility of leading a professional organization. I live a constant balancing act to do mybest for all those around me, as well as try to be a healthy, complete person. This is who I am. This is whomost of us are. While our average member may not share each and every one of those attributes that Idescribe above, nearly all share that we must balance competing responsibilities. We must be rational andpractical as an organization and know that our members don’t have the opportunity to take advantage ofevery opportunity or benefit offered by the WBA. I think this experience and realization will help me lead ourAssociation with a realistic view of our members, their time and their expectations. Q: How has serving as President-Elect prepared you for the role of President?I’ve had the opportunity to serve on the WBA Board of Governors since 2020, as well as a previous stint asan ex officio member on the Board on behalf of the Young Lawyers Section (coming on two decades ago). Inbetween those times, I had the opportunity to provide service to our various local, state and national barassociations and foundations in various service, committee or leadership roles, including within the WBA. All things considered, 2020-2022 will likely go down in history as one of the most unique two-to-three-yearperiods in modern history. This is certainly true for our WBA. And now on the back side of that two-to-three-year period, many things are forever changed. This is also true for our WBA.How does that help answer the question? Well, it is this past year where I served as President-Elect that Ithink has helped show what our future looks like. While I think pre-2020 knowledge of our Association iscritical to our future operation, it is this past year that I think is most telling of who we have become. Q: What are your goals and expectations as President?As I mentioned in response to the previous question, I believe the needs, wants and opportunities of ourmembers have changed since Covid, or at least Covid provided a catalyst to effectuate and expedite thatchange. Our organization must respond and reposition itself to be available for our members despite of,and in light of, that change. What does that mean? My predecessor, Aaron Breitenbach, wrote about in his final President’s column lastmonth, budgetary concerns loom over our Association. Things must change within our organization for us tobe available to our members in the future. But simply remaining open for business isn’t my end goal. We need to look different going forward. We haveto decide this year what that means in terms of changing how things have seemingly always been done. Wewill look different. We have to figure out what that means. And then, in the end, we need for our membersto get to know the new us. Q: What do you feel are the strengths of the Wichita Bar Association?The word “association” is an easy one to define – “a group of people organized for a common purpose.” Allof the members of the WBA share many attributes. We are lawyers (including active practitioners, soon to belawyers and retired lawyers). We are located in (or practicing near) Wichita, Kansas. But those are not theattributes that define the strength of our organization. Instead, like any good association, it is the peoplewho are passionate about the common purpose of the association that define it. In our case, our biggeststrength as an association is that there are a number of people who are passionate about all that is good

Page 3

within our legal profession. It is the people who are passionate about helping colleagues to better ourprofession and community through aspects like education (teaching CLE for free), service (the LawyersAssistance Committee or Service to the Bar Committee) and community (Professional Diversity). I'd arguethat those who are passionate about our profession give much more to our profession and Association thanthey take out. That is our strength. Q: In what areas would you like to see improvement or change?The WBA must find a model where we can be financially stable for this next generation. I won’t belabor thatpoint here today, because unfortunately it isn’t fun. It is going to take a tremendous amount of work for thisyear’s Board to help resolve this issue. What I will talk about is that I think we as Association leadership can help better deliver information. Somuch of the work that this Association does goes unnoticed, often by design. But we need to better conveythat we provide benefits to our members, and that those benefits will be there when the member wants orneeds to enjoy them. Q: What is your favorite movie and book?Pass. But I do listen to several podcasts about bourbon, beer and Formula 1 racing. And off and on over theyears I have created and maintained websites and blogs about my passions--running, bourbon, coffee,cocktails. I love the experience of creating content and delving into the research on whatever my passion isat that time. Q: Tell me about your family. What activities outside of the practice of law and family do you enjoy?I am Jennifer Hill’s husband. Everyone knows Jennifer. I have two [normally] fantastic boys. They are now inthe 9th and 5th grades. Both are smart, active, fun and funny. Because the boys are so active I've tradedrunning after 100 mile finish lines for chasing my kids to whatever sport practice they have that night. I stilllove running every day and like to put in about 30 miles a week. Running is my meditation and release andallows me to carve out a bit of "me time" each day. My family swears I make a great latte and I truly enjoycreating a beautiful and complex cocktail for friends. And I'm currently about to dive head first into Tour deFrance coverage. Q: What are the three most important attributes of a good lawyer?I don’t think there are wrong answers here. Fortunately, lawyers come in different shapes and sizes – eachone of us is different. What makes one successful might be quite different than what makes the nextsuccessful. But there are a number of attributes I find work best when I’m adverse to another lawyer.Honesty. Rationality. Selflessness. Honesty is self-evident. Rationality should control over emotion andtechnicality. And selflessness…let me just say that a case should not be about the lawyers; it’s about theclients. Q: What are some future challenges for the practice of law?We are all staring down the barrel at the loss of the Baby Boomer generation. From client relationships, towork ethic, to practice management, to overall legal experience, the loss of the Baby Boomer generation toretirement is a challenge for each of us. My hope is that those that remain have sufficient capacity andcapability to pick up where that generation left off. My fear is that there may be unmet client needs in themeantime, as we as a profession work to fill the gaps. Q: How does the WBA benefit lawyers and assist with the challenges facing our profession?I went to lunch recently. My lunch portion entrée was $14.50. I ordered a water. With tax and tip I’m up to$18.75 out the door. For that same $18.75, I can pay for my monthly membership to the WBA. Where am Igoing with this? The WBA continues to be an incredible value. It makes available to you organized socialopportunities with your legal colleagues (meetings and social events). It provides locally focused continuingeducation (CLE). It provides industry-specific information (Bar-o-Meter). It provides area-of-practice specificpractical guidance (practice committees). But it does much more behind the scenes in providing services tomembers of our profession and community that many of us won’t see on a day-to-day basis or even on ayearly basis (i.e., Service to the Bar and Fee Dispute). Services that no one person on his or her own mightbe able to provide. And we do this for the cost of a lunch. BAR-0-METER - JULY 2023 Page 3
