The immediate past president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, Michele Mirman, was officially added to the board of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy during an election at Wednesday’s board meeting.

In addition to having served as past president of the BWBA, Mirman is the president-elect of the New York State Trial Lawyers Academy, a trustee at the Tenement Museum and was recently named to City & State NY’s 2018 Women Power 100 list, ranked as the 94th most powerful woman in the state.

“We are honored to welcome Michele Mirman today,” said Mark Baker, conservancy board chairman. “With her impressive legal career and as a longtime advocate for the conservancy and the Brooklyn community, she will be a significant addition to the Board of Directors.”

A Brooklyn native and graduate of James Madison High School, Mirman is the founder and senior partner of the firm Mirman, Markovits & Landau, P.C. and is a supporter of many local organizations in the borough.

“I am deeply honored to be selected by the directors of the conservancy to join the board in its amazing work on behalf of Brooklyn Bridge Park and thrilled to become part of this incredible undertaking, which has completely changed the Brooklyn waterfront into a world-class destination,” Mirman said. “Having grown up and lived in Brooklyn virtually all my life, I know firsthand what an enormous difference the park has made in our lives here in Brooklyn.”
