Pro Bono Committee<br />
Due to resignations, the committee has two vacant member seats. Staff and the committee recommend<br />
Kristina Faricy (120849) and Joshua R. Orem (116872) for appointment. Ms. Faricy brings experience as<br />
legal services provider and has indicated a strong interest in serving on this committee. Mr. Orem is a<br />
solo practitioner and would add balance to the practice type currently represented on the committee.<br />
Recommendation: Kristina Faricy, member, term expires 12/31/<strong>2013</strong><br />
Recommendation: Joshua R. Orem, member, term expires 12/31/2014<br />
Quality of Life Committee<br />
One of the QOL Committee members appointed last November was unable to accept the position. As<br />
such, staff and the committee recommend the appointment of Cody Elliott (091027). Mr. Elliott is an<br />
associate at Miller Nash LLP.<br />
Recommendation: Cody Elliott, member, term expires 12/31/2015<br />
Disciplinary Board<br />
Region 5 public member, Nicole Ferran, moved to Washington <strong>State</strong> for a new employment opportunity.<br />
Staff recommends Dr. John H. Kilian to fill the vacant seat created by Ms. Ferran’s resignation. Dr. Kilian<br />
has extensive community involvement and served as a public member of the OSB MCLE Committee<br />
through December 2012. The Supreme Court makes appointments to the DB based on the board’s<br />
nomination.<br />
Nomination: Dr. John H. Kilian, public member, term expires 12/31/2015<br />
Local Professional Responsibility Committee<br />
Two of the five members recently appointed to the Region 4 LPRC, including the chairperson, have<br />
declined to serve. Of the three remaining committee members, Cynthia Phillips (803412) is the only one<br />
with prior LPRC experience. Ms. Phillips is willing to serve as chairperson. Region 4 has no pending<br />
investigative assignments and the caseload is not expected to be large this year. Based on this and the<br />
fact that there are no other volunteers available, staff recommends only appointing a chair at this time.<br />
Recommendation: Cynthia Phillips, Chair, term expires 12/31/<strong>2013</strong>
