Advocates Society to have virtual installation on February 18

The 2021 Annual Installation of the Advocates’ Society of Polish American Attorneys will be held virtually via Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 18, beginning with a Virtual Cocktail at 6:30 p.m. The program will follow at 7:00 p.m. This year, the Advocates Society will be honoring their officers for the 2021-2022 year who have all agreed, due to the disruptions of the pandemic, to serve an additional term:

  • President - Hon. Jonathan Clark Green
  • First Vice President - Audrey Cosgrove
  • Second Vice President - Allison R. Pawlicki
  • Third Vice President - Christina Malecki
  • Secretary - Joanna Pawlowska
  • Treasurer - Ann Melichar
  • Historian - Eryk Wachnik

In recognition of its 90th Anniversary, the Advocates Society will also be honoring acclaimed historian Dominic A. Pacyga, author of American Warsaw, as the recipient of the Society’s Annual Award of Merit. Past President and Board of Governors’ member Dawn Bode will also be awarded a Presidential Award.

Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans will administer the oaths of office to the returning officers. There is no charge to attend this event, but a voluntary contribution of $20 or more to the Advocates Society through its website at www.advocatesociety.com to help defray costs of the Amicus Poloniae Legal Clinic during these difficult times would be greatly appreciated. To register for the Zoom invite to the event please email the Advocates Society at advocatessociety@gmail.com. Registrations must be received by February 17.

To make a donation to the Clinic, click the general donation icon toward the bottom of the homepage on the Advocates website. One can put in a description for the contribution but, description or not, the Advocates will be able to match a registrant to his or her contribution automatically by email address.

Two levels of sponsorship are available for this event. A General Sponsorship, for $100, includes oral recognition at the event, the display of the sponsor's name or logo on a shared screen at times during the program, and a general listing in the virtual ad book. A Gold Sponsorship, for $250, includes all the benefits of a General Sponsorship, as well as a full-page ad in the virtual program book that will be distributed to all attendees along with the Zoom invites when they go out.
