San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, a Thomas Jefferson School of Law graduate, has been elected to the State Bar’s Board of Governors.

Dumanis, a former Superior Court Judge, will serve a three-year term on the board for District Nine, which encompasses San Diego and Imperial Counties.

"I'm looking forward to serving on the Board of Governors,” said Dumanis. She went on to say: “I am active in the diversity pipeline project which is attempting to recruit minorities to get into the legal field because the enrollment numbers in law schools have been declining. I am also interested in finding out what is important to the attorneys in San Diego and Imperial Counties and focus my efforts in that direction."

A past president of the Lawyers Club of San Diego, Dumanis has also served on the Board of Directors of the San Diego County Bar Association.

Dumanis and four other new members of the board, the governing and policymaking body of the more than 206,000-member State Bar, will be sworn in at the bar’s annual meeting October 7 in Monterey.
