Appointed by Missouri Bar President Athena Dickson, Ketchum will serve as co-chair of the AMPC alongside Russell Jones of Polsinelli in Kansas City.

As a co-chair of the committee, Ketchum will work closely with other committee members to develop CLE program ideas and educational components for the Annual Meeting, serving as a key component in creating and maintaining a successful meeting lineup.
Ketchum recently attended the first planning meeting for the Annual Meeting alongside fellow co-chair Russ Jones, Missouri Bar President Athena Dickson and Missouri Bar Executive Director Mischa Epps. The AMPC spent this past weekend engaged in robust conversation, idea sharing, and thoughtful dialogue at the planning kickoff in Kansas City.
The Missouri Bar Annual Meeting offers three days of interactive plenary sessions on major issues of the day; CLE track programs on timely, relevant issues impacting the practices of Missouri’s lawyers; and relaxed, casual social events for one-of-a-kind professional networking. Held in conjunction with the Missouri Judicial Conference, it also serves as an opportunity for lawyers and judges to network and build relationships.
