in attendance . Judges Sabella ( HCBA Judicial Liaison ), S . Ward and Palermo ( Bench Bar Committee ), Ellison and Farfante ( 5K Pro Bono River Run ), Rice , Costello , and Perrone ( Judicial Liaisons ), are just a few of the judges that contribute sub - stantially to the HCBA . But at any event , the judiciary is always well represented .
I thank everyone who works at the HCBA . You would think it takes a huge staff to manage this operation . However , it is a small hard-working group of ten individuals who keep the HCBA going . From Executive Director John Kynes to Receptionist Rita Zemetres , they are all professional , dedicated , and know the right answers to all HCBA-related questions .
The HCBA is a voluntary Bar Association whose mission is , “ To inspire and promote respect for the law and the justice system through service to the legal profession
and the community .” I appreciate all our members ’ service to the legal profession and community . I encourage you to become more active . I encourage you to inspire other lawyers , judges , and professionals to become active members . It is each one of us — the members of the HCBA — that continue to make the HCBA a valuable resource and benefit to our local legal community . n
