The 2010-11 Student Bar Association (SBA) election winners were announced at the Barrister's Ball on April 10 at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.

The following Boyd students were elected to the Executive Board: Brett Harris, President; Amy Yonesawa, Full-time Vice President; Randy Westbrook, Part-time Vice President; Derek Marr, Treasurer; and Whitney Richburg, Secretary. The following Boyd students were elected as representatives: Allison Coombs, 3L Representative; Tiffany Lawrence, Part-time 3L Representative; Sarah Killer, 2L Representative; and Matt Morris, Part-time 2L Representative.

The Student Bar Association is composed of all students in attendance at the Boyd School of Law. The SBA Board of Governors are students elected to serve and represent the student body in an effort to allow for continued improvement of the high quality of education and services at the law school.

The SBA hosts several different events during the school year such as the Introduction to Law Week Barbecue, a cocktail party called Black and White, and the spring Barrister's Ball. The SBA also distributes the budgets for student organizations.

"We are the voice between students and the administration," said third-year student Elana Graham, 2009-10 SBA Vice President. "We foster the success of other student organizations."
