Appointment to leading surrogacy committee

Appointment to leading surrogacy committee

With a great deal of humility and honour, I have accepted an appointment as a member of one of the world’s leading surrogacy committees.

I have been appointed as a member of the Executive Council of the American Bar Association’s Family Law Section’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Committee.

I have been appointed as one of two international members of the Executive Council, which is to run the ART committee. It is both humbling and a recognition by my international peers of my abilities.

The appointments come at a critical time, as there are currently moves to have a Hague convention to govern international surrogacy.

The council and committee are headed by Steve Snyder (pictured), a leading surrogacy lawyer from Minneapolis.
