MSBA Director of Administration

Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA) Accounting Manager Nicole
Earl-Hernandez has been promoted to Director of Administration.
“Since the position of Director of Administration has
so many responsibilities regarding the accounting and business functions of
the MSBA, I am very pleased to be able to promote Nicole Earl-Hernandez to
this position,” states MSBA Executive Director Paul Carlin. “For
the last five years-plus, Nicole has demonstrated her competence and diligence
as our Accounting Manager. Those responsibilities have given her detailed knowledge
about our extensive budgeting process and many of the business management tasks
regarding insurance, personnel policies and business records of many varieties.”
“I first came to the MSBA [by way of the Maryland State
Department of Health & Mental Hygiene] as the Accounting Assistant in 1998,” explains
Earl-Hernandez, who subsequently left the organization for a brief period the
following year before being “lured back to become Accounting Manager
in 2000.”
“I’m confident that Nicole will quickly learn
the many details of her additional duties involving the Young Lawyers Section,
the Maryland Bar Foundation and the Resolution of Fee Disputes Committee, among
other assigned duties,” adds Carlin.
Naturally, those additional duties will increase Earl-Hernandez’s
profile within the organization – a significant but welcome change from
the more behind-the-scenes world of accounting.
“As the Director of Administration, I’ll have
the opportunity to meet the members,” she notes. “I’ll finally
be able to match faces with names that have passed across my desk for years.”
“Working at Bar Headquarters is great,” she adds. “The
MSBA staff has come to be like family. It’s a relaxed and friendly office
where we work hard, but we have fun, too. Who could ask for a better place
to work?”
“Promotion of employees internally is a good morale-booster,
and the staff was delighted with Nicole’s promotion,” Carlin adds.
