Hanselman elected as president of Ingham County Bar Foundation

Dykema recently announced that Jason T. Hanselman, Lansing-based member in the firm’s Government Policy and Practice group, has been elected to serve as President of the Ingham County Bar Foundation (ICBF) for a one-year term. The ICBF is the Ingham County Bar’s philanthropic entity and has a close relationship with the Ingham County Bar Association (ICBA) and other local bar organizations.

 The ICBF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in Michigan in 2002 as a vehicle for lawyers and other interested citizens to make charitable contributions for the tangible, meaningful benefit of the community. The Foundation’s mission is to promote access to justice, expand the availability of legal services to the public at large, support local charitable organizations, promote continuing legal education and foster the honor and integrity of the profession of law.

Hanselman, who was appointed to the ICBF Board of Director’s last year, has been an ICBA member for more than 17 years and also served on its executive leadership team for several years, including recent stints as President, Vice President, and Secretary.

In his practice, Hanselman advises clients in highly-regulated fields, such as energy, elections, health care, and public education. He regularly represents those clients in complex business matters, litigation before state and federal courts, and regulatory proceedings before administrative boards and commissions.

 Hanselman received a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Miami and a B.A. from Michigan State University.
