Tormey President's Message
 
With my term as President drawing to a close, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been a part of CNYWBA during the past year.  Your time and support are the strength of this organization.  In particular, I would like to thank the Board of Directors, who give a tremendous amount of time and energy to CNYWBA while balancing demanding careers and personal lives.  I have been honored and humbled to lead this organization and grateful for the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and hard-working group of people.
 
We have a few remaining events coming up in June and are already planning a full slate of events in the fall.  Be sure to add the dates below to your calendars so that you don't miss anything.
 
I'm excited to see what more there is to come from CNYWBA and look forward to an exciting 2016-2017 year!
 
Best wishes,

Recognition Member Recognition

Bryn Lovejoy-Grinnell will be awarded the WBASNY Rising Star Award for our chapter at the WBASNY Convention next month.
 
Bryn has been the pro bono projects director of CNYWBA since 2009. In that role, she recruited and trained new volunteers, coordinated with Vera House staff about the administration of the clinic, and scheduled volunteers. She coordinated or presented CLEs each year for clinic volunteers. She also oversaw the creation of the formal partnership between VLP and CNYWBA's Vera House clinic in 2013.
 
Bryn has also served on the WBASNY Domestic Violence Committee since 2009, regularly reviewing and commenting on pending legislation, participating in conference calls and attending Domestic Violence Committee meetings at the statewide WBASNY meetings. In 2013 she wrote a position paper on behalf of the Committee commenting on a proposal to mandate alternative dispute resolution in matrimonial cases. 

Along with Karen DeCrow and Danielle Fogel, she helped organize the 2014 Women in Law and Medicine dinner. 

Bryn has been elected CNYWBA President-Elect for the 2016-2017 year.
 
Thank you, Bryn, for your contributions to CNYWBA, and congratulations on this award!
