❑ On December 2, 2022, longtime <strong>WWBA</strong> member, Gladys<br />
G. . Ullmann, Esq., was inducted into the Westchester County<br />
Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. The awards ceremony, now in its<br />
40th year, was conducted as a multi-platform virtual event and<br />
led by Westchester County Executive George Latimer.<br />
The Senior Hall of Fame is a tribute to older adults who<br />
have generously given their time and energy to improve the<br />
quality of life in their communities or Westchester County at large.<br />
This distinction is awarded to those whose contributions have<br />
made a positive difference through their professional lives, volunteer<br />
work, or both.<br />
Gladys, who is currently 91 years old and practicing law,<br />
began her career as a high school teacher in Mount Vernon<br />
and Ardsley schools, where she taught French. After retiring for<br />
20 years, she returned to school herself and obtained a law<br />

continues to be a vibrant participant of the <strong>WWBA</strong> – she is a valuable contributor to<br />
book club discussions and attends many social events. Gladys is also an active<br />

<strong>WWBA</strong> extends congratulations to Gladys for this recognition of her outstanding professional<br />
life, and gratitude for her contributions to our community!<br />
