Jan. 20, 2021 – The State Bar of Wisconsin’s election cycle is in full swing and this year’s president-elect candidates, Odalo Ohiku and Margaret Hickey, are vying for the position, a one-year term before serving a one-year term as president.
In April, the State Bar membership will elect a president-elect, as well as other officer positions, including a State Bar treasurer and a Judicial Council representative. Those elected will take office at the start of the fiscal year, July 1, 2021.
The State Bar’s Nomination Committee has tapped Hickey and Ohiku, both of Milwaukee, as candidates to ultimately lead the organization.
The Nomination Committee customarily chooses candidates in a rotation between Madison, Milwaukee, and the pool of candidates in greater Wisconsin. Whoever is elected will succeed Cheryl Daniels, who takes over as president on July 1.
