The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association announced the details of its upcoming installation for Jovia Radix, who will take over as president.

The installation ceremony will be held at the Brooklyn Bar Association on Thursday, June 15 at 6 p.m. Radix will take over the organization in an almost literal passing of the torch as her mother, Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix, the NYC Corporation Counsel, and a past president of the BWBA herself, will preside over the ceremony.

Radix, a senior vice president at Kasirer LLC, has experience in various government and political positions, including serving as Brooklyn Regional Representative to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

A Hofstra Law graduate, Radix has been recognized by City & State in their 2021 “Telecommunications Power 50” and “Brooklyn Power 50” lists, as well as being an honoree in the “Power of Diversity: Black 100.” She was also featured in Crain’s New York’s “Notable Black Leaders 2022.”

Hon. Cenceria Edwards steps in that day as the president-elect. Also on the ballot are Lauren Arnel, Lisa Michael, and Angelicque Moreno as vice presidents, Erin Peake is up for treasurer, Victoria Serigano is for recording secretary, and Nancy Ahern is up for corresponding secretary.

The next slate of the board of directors to be voted on will include the current president, Susan Mauro, as well as Marea Wachsman, Judith Aarons, Hon. Heela Capell, Danielle Ciarola, Hon. Genine Edwards, Karlyne Fequiere, Catherine Gonzalez, Barbara Grcevic, Betsey Jean-Jacques, Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix, Ashley Iodice, Hon. Connie Mallafre Melendez, Michele Mirman, Hon. Ellen Spodek, Hon. Lillian Wan, and Sue Novick Wasko.
