Stouffer, of Tacoma, memberof the Board of Governors, responded.REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORSANDADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENTHilton B. GardnerWe now have an active membership of approximately 3400 membersin the State of Washington. We have had 130 admissions during theyear. Two of them were attorneys admitted and the others were byexamination. Approximately 73 percent of the candidates taking thebar examinations passed and a total of 49 failed to pass.I would like to discuss with you for a few minutes some of the moreimportant functions of the Board of Governors. Their work is largelydone by committees, and I shall call your attention to the work of anumber of committees. The fact that all of the committees are notmentioned does not mean that their work is not important. It maymean that it has made a more complete report and will be reportedfrom the floor, and I shall cover only a few of them.One of the most important functions of the Board of Governors isthat of discipline. Complaints against lawyers are processed by thelocal administrative committees in the respective counties in whichthe attorneys practice.Now, many of these complaints will be only trivial matters whichare disposed of by the members of the local administrative committee,but if after such hearing, if the administrative committee determinesthat such further action is required, it makes a report to the Board ofGovernors, and that report is considered carefully by the Board ofGovernors, and if the Board determines that a complaint should befiled it so directs the association counsel to prepare it and serve thecomplaint and proceed with the action.The matter is then set for trial and the trial is before the trialcommittee of the district or county, rather, in which the attorney thatis up for trial practices. One member of the Board of Governors pre-sides over the trial, sitting with two members of the trial committee.He presides and he is assisted by two members of the trial committeefor that district.That is entirely a formal proceeding at which the lawyer may berepresented by counsel and testimony is taken from sworn witnesses,and the testimony is reported.

MaloneyIn 1933, the Legislature established the Washington State Bar As-sociation. We are met at the 29th Annual Convention Meeting sincethe establishment of our Association. The State Bar is governed by theBoard of Governors, which is charged by law with the executive func-tions of the State Bar, and the enforcement of the provisions of theState Bar Act. We have seven Congressional Districts in the State ofWashington and the seven members of the Board of Governors listedin the order of Congressional Districts are: DeWitt Williams, First;Howard C. Graham, Second; Dale McMullen, Third; James I. Leavy,Fourth; Charles F. Scanlan, Fifth; Carl H. Skoog, Sixth; and GeorgeH. Bovingdon, Seventh.The Board during the past year has met on the average of once amonth in general meeting, with such special meetings interspersed asneeded or emergency dictated. I am happy to report to you a sincerededication and devotion to duty and responsibility on the part of eachmember of the Board and of the Executive Secretary and of the Coun-sel for the Association. Many local Bar Associations have seen fit towrite to the Board requesting that one of the meetings be held in theircity. These invitations are most welcome and are accepted with pleas-ure when the business and commitments of the Association and theBoard permit. May I suggest to you that such invitations be encour-aged, for the reason that it brings the work of the Association closerto the members, tends to enliven their interest, quicken their appreci-ation, binds us together more closely and provides the base for profes-sional cordiality, confidence and friendliness.During the past year, God, in His infinite wisdom, has called fromamong us two Past Presidents of this Association; Hilton Gardner,who served as such from 1959 to 1960; and F. A. Kern, who served assuch from 1953 to 1954. Their contributions to this Association and19611
