He will remain active in Nashville’s non-profit community, continuing to serve with Sister Cities of Nashville, the YMCA, Urban Bicycle Food Ministry and other organizations. “It has been a privilege to be a part of the Tennessee legal community through the good works of the TBA. I will miss the many friends I have made on the staff and among the membership, and I hope to keep in touch with you,” Kolar said. During his time at the TBA, Kolar has been involved in the launch of TBA Today and TBA Leadership Law, the expansion of online CLE programming and a number of other programs. The TBA is now accepting applications for the assistant executive director position. Learn more here.
