It is the generous support of our community and the leadership of our Board that has made it possible for us to advocate in partnership with our clients for 107 years to advance fairness, equity, and compliance with the law in the workplace.
We were thrilled that our client Laura spoke about her fierce fight to remedy the sexual harassment she experienced as a long-haul truck driver, and we were deeply moved by her words and courage.
We were honored to host Stanford Law Professor Pam Karlan, who delivered our keynote address with great insight, verve, and humor.
We were privileged to recognize Marielena Hincapié, the recipient of our Mathew O. Tobriner Award for her tenacity, decades of advocacy, and dedication to advancing the rights and dignity of immigrants.
And we were proud of our staff member Kim Ouillette for her compelling presentation on our recent successes, Chris Ho for his warm introduction of Marielena, and Nora Cassidy for working alongside Laura to achieve a meaningful outcome of her case.
Lastly, we deeply appreciate our Chair Annette Carnegie, who presided over our program with warmth and passion for our work.
We hope to see you again to celebrate 108 years of advancing justice in the workplace.
