2023 Gala Installation Reception

On February 9th, over 100 guests, elected officials, and judges from the Marin Superior Courtcelebrated the induction of our 2023 officers and directors at Alexander Hall in San Anselmo.

Fortunately, the evening reception landed on the rare day of good weather that week. Guests noshed on delicious canapes and sipped a special cocktail, “A Sparkle in Her Eye,” in celebration of all five incoming directors—Robyn Christo, Morgan Daly, Shanti Eagle, Lucie Hollingsworth, Elisha Yang—along with 2023 President Ahtossa Fullerton.

The brief program kicked off with Assemblymember Damon Connolly presenting a California Assembly resolution to outgoing President Rob Rosborough, and Executive Director Mee Mee Wong presenting him with a ceremonial gavel. Judge Beverly Wood then administered the oath of office to the incoming and returning directors and officers, followed by a separate oath of office for incoming President Ahtossa Fullerton, all welcomed with cheers and applause. Judge Verna Adams presented honoree Ann Munene with the Ann Diamond Young Lawyer Award. Judge Adams was a colleague and mentee of Ann Diamond, a family law trailblazer whose influence is still felt in how family law is practiced in courts across the country. The program concluded with the introduction of our 2022 MCBA Legal Scholarship recipients. Guests pledged a generous total of nearly $17,000 to support MCBA’s scholarship fund and next year’s scholars. Thank you to our donors for stepping up to the call for financial support for these amazing law students. Be sure to check out photos of the event on MCBA’s Facebook page!
