Happy November OCWLA Members!

November is a time for reflection and gratitude, and there is so much for which to be thankful. First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our spectacular Annual Gala on October 17! This year’s Gala was our largest and most successful yet, truly the highlight of our year. A special thank you to Gala Chair Tracy Hughes and the entire Gala Committee—your dedication and hard work made this event truly unforgettable. Thanks also to our generous sponsors, especially our title sponsors, Robinson Calcagnie and TorkLaw.
