EDDIE H. WALKER, JR. The 118th ArkBar Annual Meeting is just around the corner. The Association joins the Judicial Council in Hot Springs June 15-18 for our annual event. The plenary speaker will be Travis T. Tygart, CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Agency. He will provide insight regarding the problem of athletes using performance-enhancing drugs. His talk will include comments about the case against Lance Armstrong. Tygart’s work emphasizes that integrity still matters and that one can still win competing fairly. Professor Kimberly Norwood, from Washington University School of Law, will speak on the very timely topic of “Implicit Bias.” She will identify and discuss factors that we unconsciously consider when interacting with each other. Considerable discussions will occur regarding the issues that face our judiciary. Chief Justice Howard Brill, Judge Dan Kemp, recently elected to become Chief Justice, and former Justice Robert Brown are among the speakers who will address some of these issues. Although the CLE offerings are amazing, the opportunity for lawyers and judges to interact in an informal setting is even more valuable. Social events such as the Presidents’ Reception, the Bar Foundation Dinner and the time-honored Friday Firm Reception in the lobby of the Arlington Hotel are opportunities to renew old friendships, strengthen existing relationships and create new ones. I thank Aaron Squyres for his magnificent work as our annual meeting chair. When you see him, please express your gratitude for a job well done. Finally, please join me in thanking members of the Friday Firm for continuing the decades-old tradition of sponsoring the reception at the Arlington. See you in Hot Springs!

The “win-at-all costs” culture seems to have taken over all levels of competition— athletic and otherwise. Many have lost confidence that integrity still matters and that you can still truly win competing fairly. This talk will explore this cultural shift in sports and provide insight to the work of the independent National Anti-Doping organization, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and its mission to protect the rights of those athletes competing fairly and to ensure a playing field free of performance-enhancing drugs for all competitors.
