Happy November OCWLA Members! | |
Thank you to everyone who came out for our 47th Annual Gala! We had a great turn out and it was a lovely evening honoring Kate Corrigan for Attorney of the Year, the Honorable Claudia J. Silbar for Judge of the Year, and the Orange County Bar Association for the Advancement of Women Award. The OCWLA and our Foundation collectively raised over $50,000 through sponsorships, the silent and live auctions, and through donations at the event. Thank you again for your ongoing support!
As a reminder, voting is happening right now for our 2024 Board of Officers and Directors! Please remember to vote online by November 8th. Our next MCLE, Ethics & Civility In Your Practice, will be held on Thursday, November 9th at Avenue of the Arts Hotel. We are thrilled to have the Honorable Michelle Bell and the Honorable Terri Flynn-Peister speak on such a relevant topic, and 1 hour of Ethics MCLE credit will be provided. We will announce the results of the Board elections at this luncheon.
Finally, I hope to see you all at our Annual Holiday Party and Installation Dinner, which will be held on Wednesday, November 29th at Lido House in Newport Beach from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. You won’t want to miss this fun event. Sponsorships opportunities are available here.
