Join us to salute Attorney of the Year

This year’s luncheon takes on a special purpose. We are honoring two outstanding legal professionals and supporting a great cause. Carolyn B. Lamm, President-Elect of the ABA, and Jack H. Olender will receive the “Good Scout Award,” given to legal professionals who have made extraordinary contributions to our communities and who practice law with the same high ethical standards we hope to instill in our children. The luncheon will also help support two ground-breaking programs of the Boy Scouts of America National Capital Area Council, Learning for Life and Scoutreach.
