Haitian Lawyers Association holds its 2nd officer installation
The Haitian American Lawyers Association of New York (HALANY) hosted its second annual installation ceremony for its executive committee and board of directors at Borough Hall on Thursday.
Outgoing President Emmanuel Depas officially handed the baton over to new President Annel-Stephan Norgaisse during a special ceremony. Norgaisse was then sworn in by Justice Dweynie Esther Paul, along with Ritha Pierre as president-elect, Marly Marcellus as vice president, Kenny Milord as treasurer and Rodney Pepe-Souvenir as secretary.
“HALANY is not just an organization of brains or beauty, because you guys look good,” said Paul, who was the first registered member of the association. “HALANY is an organization of people with guts to get the work done. Not just in the courtroom, but in the streets to get the work done.”
