Friends
of the Court Profile
Ingo and Susan Keilitz were inducted to the
Burger Society in October 2002, marking 20-years of personal
contributions to the National Center. Ingo Keilitz, a former vice
president of the Institute for Court Management, and Susan Keilitz, a
former senior staff research attorney, recently discussed how they have
benefited from participation in the Friends of Court program.
“For more than 20 years, we have had the
privilege of working with and supporting the National Center for State
Courts through the Friends of the Court program. By doing so, we’ve
joined others who care about access to justice, fairness and equality, and
a responsive and accountable court system. Through the years of our
association, a lot of changes have taken place at the National Center. But
one thing that has remained consistent is its mission and critical role as
an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving this
country’s court system. The National Center, quite simply, makes a
difference and we all are beneficiaries of its good work.
“On a more personal level, as former
employees of the National Center who have continued to work in the field,
our participation in the Friends of the Court program has paid us great
benefits. It has helped us to maintain strong ties with old friends and
colleagues and to establish new ones with like-minded professionals on the
National Center’s staff.”
