• “I enthusiastically support Emily Masalski in her candidacy for 3rd Vice President of the Illinois State Bar Association. Emily not only embodies exceptional legal skill, but also a deep and demonstrated commitment to service within the Association and to the profession as a whole. Throughout her career, Emily has consistently stepped forward to lead – whether through active committee involvement, thoughtful policy contributions, or mentorship of newer attorneys navigating the early stages of practice. She understands the diverse challenges facing lawyers across Illinois, from solo and small firm practitioners to government attorneys and those in larger firms, and she approaches those challenges with practical, solutions-oriented thinking. Emily is exactly the type of leader that we need at ISBA.”

    —John Thies

  • "Emily’s experience across multiple practice settings—from associate to partner, firm owner to in-house counsel—diversifies her perspective in a way only experience can. She has demonstrated her commitment to the ISBA through her meaningful Board involvement and countless uncompensated hours advocating at the ABA on behalf of ISBA members to oppose non-lawyer law firm ownership. Her sustained involvement and diversified perspective reflects the standard this role demands."

She has already contributed so much to the ISBA – from her service on the Board of Governors and key committees to her work advancing meaningful initiatives – and I know she will bring fresh energy, collaboration, and excellence to the role of President.”
