ERIC D. EBERHARD, NEW CHAIR OF THE UDALL FOUNDATION
Eric D. Eberhard has been elected as the chair of the board of trustees of the Udall Foundation. In October 2011, Eberhard, a member of the board since 2000, succeeded Terrence L. Bracy, who chaired the board for the last 17 years.
“Eric has made enormous contributions to the Udall Foundation since he joined the board,” said Ellen Wheeler, executive director of the Foundation. “As the Udall Foundation matures and develops, the experience and leadership Eric brings will ensure that we continue to expand our impact around the country.”
“Eric is an old friend and a great advocate for Native Americans,” said Senator John McCain. “I look forward to working with him as he continues the great legacy of Morris Udall.”
In December 2000, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Clinton’s appointment of Eberhard to the board of trustees of the Udall Foundation. President Bush nominated him for a second term on the board in 2005, and he was confirmed by the Senate in 2006. During his time on the board, Eberhard has played a leading role in furthering the mission of the Foundation. From 2001 to 2011, he chaired the Udall Foundation’s board committee on the Native Nations Institute.
Eberhard is a Distinguished Indian Law Practitioner in Residence at the Law School at Seattle University. From 1995 to 2009, he was a partner in the Seattle office of Dorsey and Whitney LLP. He received his B.A. degree from Western Reserve University in 1967, a J.D. degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1970, and an LL.M. from George Washington University in 1972. Continue reading

Calling all PLSI Alumni from the Classes of 1972, 1982, 1992, & 2002!
Good morning! I am Heidi Macdonald from the American Indian Law Center. I am working with our beloved Heidi Nesbitt on a Four-Year Reunion Dinner for the PLSI Classes of 1972, 1982, 1992, and 2002. Can you believe how quickly the time has passed since you first began your legal education with PLSI? We are very excited to offer such a momentous occasion. We hope you can join us for your PLSI class reunion dinner! The PLSI Four-Year Reunion Dinner will be the night before the Federal Bar Association’s 37th Annual Indian Law Conference on April 18, 2012 at 7 p.m. at Gabriel’s Restaurant. This PLSI class reunion dinner will give you the chance to catch up with old friends and meet new ones!
The American Indian Law Center is also pleased to announce the creation of the “PLSI Alumni Scholarship Fund.” During the PLSI Reunion Dinner this year, the alumni of each of the four classes will have the opportunity to contribute to the PLSI Alumni Scholarship Fund. Any contributions for the PLSI Alumni Scholarship Fund will ensure future generations of Native students are able to experience PLSI as we did. As alumni, we know the importance PLSI has played in our lives and the foundation it has created for our legal careers. During PLSI, we have accomplished our dreams, met some of our best friends, and learned where passion and perseverance can take us. If you are a member of one of the PLSI classes (1972, 1982, 1992, and 2002) and have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email address is HeidiLMacdonald@gmail.com or (505) 277-5462. Thank you for your continued support!”
