It is easy to forget the human suffering caused by divisive policy issues such as Immigration and I am grateful to Natanya Briendel for offering our members a way to work closely on this issue. Several workshops have taken place in April and I am certain there will be more to come. At the General Membership Meeting on April 4th, titled “A Converation with District Judges in White Plains,” attendees learned best practices from S.D.N.Y. Judges Hon. Nelson S, Roman and Hon. Lisa Margaret Smith. Special thanks to Donna Frosco, Past President of WBASNY, for coordinating this program and moderating the panel of judges. Many thanks also to Lucia Chiocchio, WWBA Past President and Amanda Fried, Program Co-chairs for organizing the venue and registration. Thank you also to our program co-sponsors, the Federal Bar Association and the White Plains Bar Association. At our Fourth and Final General Membership Meeting of the current program year, WWBA members voted on the 2017- 2018 WWBA slate of officers and directors as well as our incoming WBASNY officers. Congratulations to all on the slate! Don’t miss your opportunity to congratulate them in person at our Annual Dinner on June 7th at the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. On a final note, I would like to add my personal condolences to the family and friends of Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam. Her sudden death just a few shorts weeks ago left us shocked and stunned. In past years, Judge Abdus-Salaam appeared on WWBA panels and attended as a guest at WWBA events. Each time we met her she was a generous and gracious woman, lawyer, and perhaps most strikingly, a role model. Her life story and very presence motivated us to try harder, taught us to uncover our true potential, and led us to overcome personal and professional barriers. She moved us from what could have just been our mediocre and inspired us instead to become our best. A heartfelt thank you to Judge Abdus-Salaam. May we remember your legacy and honor it by becoming the finest lawyers we can be. ◗ ~ 2017-2018 WWBA SLATE OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ~ President: Lisa M.
