The Sawaya Law Firm Sponsors CHBA Banquet
The Sawaya Law Firm was proud to sponsor the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association annual Banquet and Membership Meeting on Saturday, January 25, 2014. The theme of the evening was “Power to the Pipeline.”
The CHBA was incorporated on February 23, 1977 as an organization with the mission of expanding the number of Hispanics in the legal profession. The projects developed over the years range from mentor/mentee programs to assist law students, legal education seminars, and members contributing numerous hours to pro bono projects.
CHBA’s active participation in a number of efforts has resulted in expanded opportunities for Hispanic lawyers and aspiring lawyers. Over 350 attendees joined in celebrating the organizations success. The event featured remarks by Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia, an awards ceremony, and a lively after-party.
The award recipients included:
- Outstanding New Hispanic Lawyer Award – Sal Quintana.
