President's Message Dear Friends of OCKABA, Thank you to everyone who attended our 18th Annual Installation Gala this past Thursday! We truly enjoyed connecting with everyone and are so grateful to have hit a record number of attendees and sold-out our event this year. The success of this year's gala speaks volumes and we know it would have been possible without your support. We also want to give special thanks to our wonderful law school volunteers, many of whom came early to the event to help us set up and of course, give a big congratulation to our awardees, Judge Richard Lee (Judge of Year Award) and Joanne Lee Molinaro (Trailblazer Award)! If you would like to get more involved in OCKABA, please reach out to admin@ockaba.org or anyone on the board because we have several committees you can join. Also keep any eye out as our mentorship program, which is scheduled to return soon, and we expect to hit record numbers this year. Also, quick reminder that our board meetings are open to all of our members so please join us at our meeting this month on October 12, 2023 and/or join us for happy hour at Andrei's after our board meetings to see how you can get more involved! To register for our meeting this month, please visit: https://ockaba.org/event-5441839 Below are also several upcoming events, some of which are complimentary for our members. We hope you can join us and until next time, cheers! Best,
