The Brooklyn Bar Association is set to hold its Annual Meeting on Wednesday, May 8, at its headquarters on Remsen Street, where prominent members of the legal community will be recognized for their contributions to the field.
This year’s event will honor several distinguished figures, including District Attorney Eric Gonzalez; Hon. Edwina Richardson, the deputy chief administrative judge for justice initiatives for the State of New York; and Domenick Napoletano, the president-elect of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) and a past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association.
The trio are slated to receive the Lynn Terrelonge Bridge to Diversity Award, named in honor of the BBA’s first Black president, celebrating their efforts to enhance diversity within the legal profession.
