Associated Industries of Missouri (AIM) Board of Directors Chairman Emeritus Jerry M. Hunter was recognized by Missouri Lawyers Media with their “Influential Attorney” recognition at a luncheon today in St. Louis. Hunter serves as Senior Counsel at the Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner law firm in St. Louis.
Hunter was recognized for his service as Chairman of the redistricting commission appointed by Governor Mike Parson in 2021 and tasked with redrawing district lines for the Missouri House of Representatives. The commission was made up of equal numbers of Republican and Democrat appointees that donated their time to the work of the commission. Not only was he successful in leading the commission to agree on a map, the vote was unanimous – the first time that has ever happened.
The map was eventually approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Parson.
“We have always appreciated Jerry Hunter’s strong leadership qualities,” said Ray McCarty, president and CEO of Associated Industries of Missouri. “Jerry has an ability to make everyone realize their opinions are important and valuable and then find compromise. He is not only a great business associate, he is a great friend to many of us and we congratulate him on receiving this honor.”
Hunter served two terms as chairman of the AIM Board of Directors until November 2022 and now serves as Chairman Emeritus on the AIM Board of Directors. Hunter previously served on the St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners, as director of the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, and as general counsel for the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C.
