Steven Bizar, MA’87, an executive shareholder at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, was named president of the Philadelphia Bar Foundation for a two-year term. The foundation promotes access to justice for all people in the community, particularly those struggling with poverty, abuse and discrimination. Steven joined the foundation’s board in 2007. Adam Brauer writes, “With a senior and a junior in high school, this past year has been spent traveling throughout the country to see colleges. Two observations: Everyone on college campuses looks younger, and I want to go back. Professionally, after taking several years off to become a homemaker, I am looking to start a new business; more details to follow. Anyone who comes to Vegas or Amsterdam, look me up.” Matthew Weiss, president of Weiss & Associates, was named to the 2014 New York Super Lawyers list. He was among the 5 percent of lawyers in the New York City area selected by an independent research team employed by Super Lawyers.
