FOURTH ANNUAL NCBJ-NAWJ MEET AND GREET SUCCEEDS BY JOINING OLD FRIENDS AND ENCOURAGING NEW

On Thursday morning October 27, 2016, members of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges who are also members of the National Association of Women Judges hosted their Fourth Annual NCBJ-NAWJ Meet and Greet Breakfast at our NCBJ Conference.

The breakfast, which took place in the “Wine Stables” at the Cavalier Restaurant, Hotel Zetta in San Francisco was a huge success. Many thanks go to NCBJ-NAWJ Liaison Committee Chair, Rosemary Gambardella and NAWJ Federal Judges Committee Co-Chair Colleen Brown.
