JABA Members Enjoy Annual Meeting and Reception
The JABA 2011 ANNUAL MEETING and reception took place on November 10, 2011
at the Empress Pavilion Restaurant. Over 100 members and their guests
attended the Meeting, including many dignitaries, judges, and commissioners.
The Annual Meeting is an opportunity to review JABA activities and events
for the year, introduce officers, directors, and committee members, and sign
up for committees. A reception honoring a deserving member or member of the
community follows.
This year JABA President Alison Matsumoto presided over the meeting,
assisted by President-Elect Audra Mori. Vice President and Membership Chair
Steve Yoda announced that JABA membership had reached 240 members and that
Doug Sugimoto had become a Lifetime Member. Steve acknowledged all the JABA
Lifetime Members and Sustaining Members. A fabulous buffet dinner followed,
including dim sum, peking duck, walnut shrimp, kung pao chicken, other
dishes, and a mango pudding dessert. The reception for JABA 2011 Public
Service Award recipients, Hon. Kathryn Doi Todd and the Hon. Ernest
Hiroshige followed.
Vice President Steve Yoda introduced Judge Ernest Hiroshige. Judge Hiroshige
was appointed to the Los Angeles Municipal Court in 1980 and to the Los
Angeles Superior Court in 1982. One of the two most senior judges of the Los
Angeles Superior Court, Judge Hiroshige was a founding member of JABA and
the organization’s second President. Judge Hiroshige received the
prestigious UCLA Alumni Service Award in 1994, and has a long history of
community service.
The Hon. Victoria Chavez, Associate Justice of the California Court of
Appeals, who serves with Justice Doi Todd, read statements of congratulation
from the Hon. Roger Boren, Presiding Justice of Division Two of the
California Court of Appeals, and Justice Judith Ashman-Gerst, Associate
Justice. Past JABA President, Patricia Kinaga, introduced Justice Doi Todd,
and presented her Award. Justice Doi Todd rewarded her audience with a
fascinating account of JABA’s early history and her own journey to the
bench. Appointed to the bench in 1978, Justice Doi Todd was the first
Japanese American woman judge in the country. She was appointed to the CA
Court of Appeals in 2000.
Corporate Affairs Committee Chair Diana Nishiura noted that these Awards
were well-deserved and long overdue. Thanks to Diana and all the JABA
members who helped organize this incredible event! |
