NEWSLETTER SPOTLIGHTS

PRIDE Month: The CHBA recognizes our community's connection to this month's observance and celebration by highlighting the accomplishments of Justice Monica Marquez, who became the first openly gay Latina to serve on the Colorado Supreme Court in 2010. Justice Marquez remains the longest serving openly gay person currently serving as a state supreme court justice. She is a graduate of Yale Law School and is a past president of the Colorado LGBT Bar Association and a past board member of the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association.

Member Spotlight: Earlier this month, our former president and current board member, Margaret Castinado, won the election for the post of Connecticut Bar Association Vice President. The election was the first time in nearly 30 years that candidates competed for the vice presidency of the state's largest bar association. We congratulate Attorney Castinado on her historic victory!
