After a 15-year tenure as executive director of the New York City Bar, Barbara Berger Opotowsky is resigning in May. A search committee under city bar president Carey Dunn has been formed to find her successor.

Opotowsky has served with nine presidents while overseeing the now 24,000-member organization. She also has overseen a budget of about $15 million for the city bar and another $5 million for its public service affiliate, the City Bar Fund.
