Member Spotlight: Jim Moon – The Definition of All-In
In a Section as large and multifaceted as ours, it takes vision and hustle to lead effectively. Few exemplify this better than Jim Moon.
Jim has worn many hats and worn them all well. From chairing the Pro Bono Committee, being Second Vice-Chair of the Labor Day Retreat, and the mastermind behind our Spring Retreat (plus our unique collaboration with the Canadian government—yes, really!), Jim is the one you want on your team.
What sets him apart isn’t just his work ethic—it’s his eagerness to serve. Jim doesn’t
wait to be asked. He steps up, pitches in, and always brings creativity, positivity, and results. We’re lucky to have him—and the Section is better because of him.
