I also served as the delegation chair and was subsequently elected to the executive committee of the conference. In 2000, I was elected chair of the Los Angeles County Bar’s Criminal Justice Section, and presently I am a member of the Los Angeles County Bar’s Judicial Evaluations Committee and the State Appellate Judicial Evaluations Committee. I was chair of the county bar’s 2007-2008 Diversity Conference.
In 2001, I was a member of the county bar’s Board of Trustees and thereafter served as assistant vice president, vice president, senior vice president and president-elect. In 2008 I served as president of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. I was a former member of the Webster Commission and the board of directors for the Association of Deputy District Attorneys.
