PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE |
 Greetings,
I am energized and inspired after attending the 14th Biennial International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) Conference in Buenos Aires. There were 900 women judges from 73 countries who attended. Over 100 NAWJ members and their guests were present to support Past NAWJ President Hon. Vanessa Ruiz as the newly installed IAWJ President. The U.S. delegation celebrated President Ruiz in fine fashion following her installation; we waived red, white and blue scarves and American flags and joined her on stage or in front of the platform dancing to the tunes of "Vida" by Ricky Martin and "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge. Hon. Lisette Shirdan-Harris was unanimously voted to serve another term as International Director. The U.S. delegation sincerely thanks Judge Shirdan-Harris for the various emails she forwarded to assist us with preparing for the conference and informing us of any updates.
Congratulations Judge Ruiz and Judge Shirdan-Harris. We wish you all the best in your respective roles and know that your leadership terms will be successful. You can read more about the IAWJ Conference in Judge Shirdan-Harris' report, which is included in this monthly update. Feel free to click here to view some of my photos from the IAWJ Conference. I also congratulate the outgoing IAWJ President, Hon. Susana Medina, for her hard work and salute her for her goal of "More Women, More Justice."
I extend sincere thanks to all who gathered for our 2018 NAWJ Midyear Meeting, "The Emerging Legal Landscape: Navigating a Path to the Future" and played a role in the meeting's success. You can read more about the meeting in my separate report in this monthly update and view the online photo gallery. The NAWJ board met during the midyear and unanimously voted to accept the Law School Outreach Committee's proposal to establish a $500.00 scholarship to a law school student at each Annual Conference, which will commence at our 40th Annual Conference in San Antonio. This August, law schools in the Texas area will be invited to apply for the scholarship and will be required to write an essay on the conference theme "Shaping the Future of Justice in this Emerging Legal Landscape." The Law School Outreach Committee will establish the scholarship criteria, grade the essays and select the recipient. On behalf of the Law School Outreach Committee, I sincerely thank the NAWJ Board and the Chairs of the 2018 and 2019 Annual Conferences for their support of the committee's mission to build the pipeline to the judiciary through strengthening NAWJ's relationship with law schools.
As you are aware, Mary Kathleen Todd will again join the NAWJ family as NAWJ Administrator from May 15-September 30, 2018. She will oversee and guide our administrative needs while we are in search of a new Executive Director (ED). The search committee has prepared a comprehensive job description for the ED position, which was posted on our website and various outlets on April 18th. Please view the ED job description in this monthly update and encourage qualified applicants to apply. I extend sincere thanks to the co-chairs of the search committee, Past NAWJ President, Hon. Lisa S. Walsh, and NAWJ Secretary, Hon. Bernadette D'Souza, and committee members for their diligence and commitment to identifying someone who will lead our organization and ensure that we remain the leading voice for women judges. We extend sincere thanks to our outgoing Executive Director, Marie E. Komisar, and wish her the best.
Please save the dates of July 17-18, 2018 for our Legislative Caucus, #WETOO IN THE LEGAL WORKPLACE" in Washington, D.C., which Deloitte & Touche and the Women's Bar Association of D.C. will co-sponsor. We sincerely thank Deloitte & Touche for hosting an evening reception on July 17, 2018. We also thank Resource Board Co-Chair, Karen Johnson-McKewan, Esq., of Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP for referring us to Beth Goldman, Esq., a partner at Orrick, and Andrew R. Parker, a paralegal. They assisted us in applying for trademark protection for "#WETOOIN THE LEGAL WORKPLACE," which we intend to use for future branding and marketing purposes.
In recognition of Mother's Day, I honor all NAWJ members who are mothers or who have mentored or served as a mother to someone. I particularly wish to highlight and honor the mothers of this organization, the Hon. Joan Dempsey Klein and the late Hon. Vaino Hassan Spencer, as well as the mother of IAWJ, Hon. Arlene Pacht (Ret.), for their vision and leadership. Judge Pacht was unable to attend the IAWJ Conference due to health issues. Judge Pacht's name was constantly mentioned throughout the conference and her presence was truly felt. We sent a plant and get well wishes to Judge Pacht on behalf of the NAWJ board and membership. Judge Pacht, we know that you are a fighter and that you will regain your health and strength soon. You are in our thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.
Lastly, I wish to honor my mother, Ms. Eleanor Kennedy, who is affectionately known as an honorary NAWJ member. I was truly blessed that she traveled with me to the IAWJ Conference to witness the strength and tenacity of so many women judges.
Sincerely,
Hon. Tanya R. Kennedy
President, National Association of Women Judges
