Events

McNees Wallace & Nurick attorney Timothy Horstmann is slated to present at the 13th annual seminar of the Pennsylvania Association of Bond Lawyers on Thursday at the Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel.

He will offer insight on current legislative developments in public finance and government borrowings on the state and local level.

The Pennsylvania Bar Institute is co-sponsoring the event.

It has been approved for 6.5 hours of CLE credit (5.5 hours substantive, one hour ethics).

Horstmann is a member of the McNees Wallace public finance and public sector practice groups with over 10 years of experience representing clients in matters related to state, local and federal taxation.

He advises banks and financial institutions, municipalities, school districts and nonprofits on the structuring of taxable and tax-exempt revenue bond and general obligation bond financings for a variety of capital projects, including manufacturing facilities, hospitals and other health care facilities, parking facilities, schools and higher education institutions and water and sewer projects.

Elected and Appointed

Support Center for Child Advocates announced the addition of three new board members: Susan Bahme Blumenfeld of Willig, Williams & Davidson; Shabrei M. Parker of Mincey & Fitzpatrick; and Gina Maisto Smith of Cozen O'Connor.

They will join the other 29 members of the board of directors as advocates for the nation's oldest and largest pro bono legal and social services agency serving abused and neglected children.

Blumenfeld is an employee benefits lawyer who counsels public and private-sector single and multiemployer pension and welfare funds on a full range of comprehensive benefits and tax issues.

Announcement

Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young partner John Murphy participated on April 28 and 29 in the Face of America Ride, a two-day, noncompetitive bike ride that benefits wounded and disabled soldiers.

More than 150 wounded veterans were part of the nearly 600 riders who cycled 110 miles from the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, to the Civil War battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This year's race raised $570,000 for future programs. Stradley Ronon attorneys and staff made financial contributions in support of the ride.
