Ms. Knack has been a DRI member for twenty years. She has served as chair, vice chair, or member of eighteen DRI committees, task forces, and DRI’s Law Institute. She is a member of the MSP Task Force of DRI’s Center for Law and Public Policy. Knack has been published multiple times in DRI publications and has been a featured speaker at thirteen DRI seminars.
