This Friday is our Annual Awards Ceremony & Celebration of Community Service and I am so excited! Hosting the event virtually gives us the opportunity to highlight our Service Award recipients and poster & video winners to an unlimited audience. It’s not too late to sign up for this FREE event!
Our Marketing Team, led by Ron Marcus, will wow us with their video skills and include cameos from VIPs from across the state to celebrate our honorees. Join California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber, California State Controller Betty Yee, California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria in doing the same! The chat will be open and we want to hear (read??) you cheering!
At the SDCBA, we always talk about how special our San Diego legal community is, and these award recipients exemplify the best of it. Congratulations and thank you:

They tackled, and nailed, this year’s Law Day topic “Advancing the Rule of Law, Now” and you’ll get to see the result at the event.
Let’s come together. Let’s celebrate. I hope to see you there.
