Nine new members will join the Virginia State Bar Council in June along with two returning members who won re-election. Elections for Council seats were held in five circuits last month.
The most activity was in Fairfax County, where 11 candidates competed for six seats on Bar Council. Brian C. Drummond was elected to a second term. Joining him will be Sandra L. Havrilak, Christie A. Leary, Luis A. Perez, Susan M. Butler and Susan M. Pesner.
In Virginia Beach, lawyers re-elected Ryan G. Ferguson to a second term and elected Bretta Marie Zimmer Lewis to an open seat.
Richmond lawyers elected Neil Talegaonkar, Ninth Circuit lawyers elected Susan B. Tarley of Williamsburg and 15th Circuit lawyers elected Allen F. Bareford of Fredericksburg.
The June Bar Council meeting at Virginia Beach has been cancelled. If another meeting is not scheduled before then, the next Bar Council meeting is set for Oct. 23.
