Denig, Commissioner of Human Resources at Westchester County and former President of the WWBA, has published her first novel, Trial and Error. The novel follows Katie Richter, a divorced mom of two teenage girls, who works full time during the day and attends law school at night, all while fighting to keep her younger daughter from spiraling into a life of endless partying and drug use. When Katie finally graduates from law school and begins working as an Assistant District Attorney, one of her daughters is murdered. She is forced to Lisa Denig reckon with her failings as a mom as well as the ethical dilemma she faces when she realizes her remaining child might commit perjury to secure the killer’s conviction. The book is available for purchase on Amazon. ◗ ❑ Cindy Kanusher anusher, Executive Director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center (PWJC), has been selected to receive the Visionary of Justice Award at the Elizabeth Haub School of Law, Law Leadership Award Dinner at the Westchester Country Club on March 14, 2024. The PWJC is a not-for-profit legal services provider for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse. After becoming the Executive Director in 2015, Cindy spearheaded fundraising efforts that lead to $3 million dollars for the construction of a new walk-in clinic and office space for free legal services. The new clinic resulted in an increase in services by 20%. The PWJC serves over 3,000 victims and survivors of interpersonal violence each year. ◗ President’s Message from page 7 bership shares my aspirations. Our membership has constantly given back to the community through various coat and food drives, mentorship programs, and each member’s innovative efforts and contributions to the legal community. As we reflect on Women’s History Month, I challenge you to consider not only the skills you acquired from law school, but in the words of Justice Ginsburg, to find additional ways you can “do something outside yourself…something that makes life a little better for people less fortunate than you.” I also encourage you to think about the women in your life who have positively impacted you, and how you can build on and learn from their successes. ◗ Proposed Slate of Officers and Directors for the 2024-2025 Membership Year Pursuant to Articles VI and IX of the by-laws of the Westchester Women’s Bar Association, voting for the following slate of Officers and Directors will take place at the General Membership and Annual Meeting on April 3, 2024: ~ PROPOSED OFFICERS ~ President: Sherry A.
