Out of Office. A running log of the State Bar of Georgia’s away messages, and what landed the same day. I am noting the timing. I am not claiming a reason.
June 17, 2026.
The day I sent a list of outstanding ADA compliance questions, two people at the State Bar were out of office. Two others read it within hours and said nothing.
The Governmental Affairs Director, Jennifer McNeely, was out:
“Thank you for your message. I am out of the office from June 17 through June 22. I will respond to your message upon my return to the office. If your matter is urgent, please contact Executive Director Damon Elmore at damone@gabar.org.”
So was an Office of the General Counsel staff member:
“I am currently out of the office until June 19th. I will get back to you upon my return.”
Two away messages on the same questions. Meanwhile, the read receipts show the Chief Operating Officer and the Deputy General Counsel both opened the message within hours. Some of the office was away. The rest was present and reading. Neither group answered the questions.
The graphic above, as text
| Date (2026) | Who went out of office | What arrived the same day | Away message |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 21 | Deputy General Counsel | A reconsideration request and litigation hold demand, copied to the General Counsel | Out through April 27 |
| June 1 | Grievance Counsel | A second request to confirm a grievance was received | Out June 1 to 5 |
| June 17 | Office of the General Counsel | A list of outstanding ADA compliance questions | Out through June 19 |
| June 17 | Governmental Affairs Director | The same outstanding ADA compliance questions | Out through June 22 |
| June 26 | ADA Coordinator (the grievance respondent) | A follow up after weeks of no decision | Out, back June 29 |
Five away messages as of June 26, 2026. Each arrived the same day a request for action did. Dates are from the State Bar of Georgia's own automatic replies. The timing is noted, not a reason.
Read the emails and letters: the full State Bar of Georgia story, and this day on the Timeline.
Status: two officials were out of office; two others read the questions within hours; the questions went unanswered.
Patterns on this page: out-of-office, read-no-answer. Each is a recurring pattern in the State Bar record. I am noting the timing, not asserting a reason.
Corrections: this is built from documents I received. If any fact here is incomplete or inaccurate, identify the page, the sentence, and the supporting document, and I will review and correct this page.
If you have been through something like this, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.
