KEEPING WESTCHESTER WARM!<br />
Hon. Kim Berg<br />
The Third Annual Coat Drive, a collaborative effort between the <strong>WWBA</strong> and WCBA<br />
spearheaded by Hon. Kim Berg, Hon. Kyle McGovern, Tejash Sanchala and Sara Kula,<br />
was a resounding success. Thank you to all who donated. This year’s drive resulted in<br />
an estimated donation of 500 coats, hats, gloves and scarves to Lifting Up Westchester<br />
and Grasslands Homeless Shelter. ◗<br />

General Membership<br />
Meeting: Ethics Update<br />
Sherry A. Bishko<br />
On February 7, 2024 at the <strong>WWBA</strong>’s<br />
first General Membership Meeting of<br />
2024, our very own Deborah A. Scalise,<br />
Esq., Dolores Gebhardt, Esq., Lisa M.<br />
Bluestein, Esq., and Norma Lopez, Esq.<br />
gave a well-attended CLE entitled “<strong>WWBA</strong><br />
Ethics Update. Dishonored Checks, Billing<br />
& A.I. - Oh My! Staying Out of<br />
Trouble - Old and New Issues.” Deborah<br />
A. Scalise began with an overview of<br />
“What’s New in The World of Ethics,”<br />
with a discussion of virtual practice and<br />
new CLE requirements on Cyber Ethics<br />
and Diversity. The panel then brought real<br />
life scenarios concerning dishonored<br />
checks to life with a hypothetical after<br />
which they unpacked the issues and<br />
brought the participants into the discussion<br />
through questions and answers. The<br />
program continued with topics including<br />
billing, disciplinary investigations, and<br />
artificial intelligence. The <strong>WWBA</strong>’s ethics<br />
CLEs do not disappoint! In addition to<br />
cutting edge topics being provided - a<br />
good time is always had by all. ◗<br />
