National Association of Women Judges honors two during annual dinner
The New York Chapter of the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ) held its annual dinner at the Water’s Edge in Queens on Tuesday where it honored Judges Victoria Graffeo and Betty Williams.
“The mission of NAWJ is very simple — to empower, to inspire, to teach and to serve — and this year’s dinner marks a culmination of activities and programs that fulfill this mission,” President Hon. Kathy J. King said. “This has been a very busy and productive year, and I look forward to the support of all of you as we continue to fulfill our mission.”
Justice Graffeo was not in attendance to receive her award, but that did not stop any of the speakers from praising her. Hon. Sheila Abdus-Salaam accepted the award, a Tiffany crystal bowl inscribed with the NAWJ logo, on Graffeo’s behalf.
