August 3, 1998 was a very auspicious day for the Peoria County Bar Association as that was the day that Linda Raineri began her employment as the staff of the PCBA. Linda succeeded Lela Post who was the first full-time Executive Director of the Association. Lela had begun as the Executive Secretary of the Bar following the retirement of Mary Louise Jacquin who had worked part-time as Executive Secretary while working as the Librarian of the Peoria County Law Library. During her twenty years of service Linda has assisted 20 PCBA Presidents in making our Bar Association one of the most respected and admired bar associations in the State of Illinois. Linda has worked tirelessly, and I mean TIRELESSLY, to administer and attend all of the programs, events, seminars and meetings that occur throughout the year. She has kept the books and the records of the Association. She oversaw the relocation of the Association offices to its present location. She has been the heart and soul of the PCBA.
So when you see Linda-please wish her a Happy Anniversary and many more. This is the year of Linda. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your devotion, loyalty, and leadership and look forward to the next 20 years.
