You are off to a good start when Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy introduces you as the next president of State Bar of Wisconsin. And that’s exactly what happened to Robert Gagan, sworn in as the 59th president.
The affable Gagan, a native of Green Bay and a partner at Calewarts, Duffy, Gagan & Erdman, said he’ll use his presidency to build on the good work of former presidents, including outgoing President Patrick J. Fiedler and outgoing Past-President Kevin Klein.
Gagan says he wants to focus on four major issues: helping young lawyers; promoting diversity and bar governance; making an impact on public policy and the reputation of the courts; and encouraging volunteerism and leadership with communities.
