HLAI Judicial Reception set for Thursday, February 25

The reception is set for Thursday, February 25, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

It will be virtual, of course, like all things in this Never Ending Year of Pandemic (now on Bonus Time), but the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois has arranged to use the Remo platform so that attendees can move from "virtual-table to virtual-table to chat and network." (The Diversity Scholarship Foundation used Remo at its 2020 Unity Award Gala, so many potential guests may already have some familiarity with how this works.)

HLAI will present its Distinguished Judicial Service Award to Judge Franklin U. Valderrama of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois at the reception.

Tickets for the event are $60 apiece for non-HLAI members ($40 for members, $15 for students) and are available on this page of the HLAI website. (Judges will not be charged for attending, but must register in advance at the link in the preceding sentence.)

Sponsorships are available for this event, ranging from a $500 Bronze Sponsorship to a $5,000 Diamond Sponsorship. All sponsorship opportunities and benefits can be reviewed at this page of the HLAI website. Persons having questions about sponsorships may email Janneth Lanini at president@hlai.org. HLAI is also soliciting donations to support the reception; donations may be made by clicking here.
