Judge King hosts final event as NAWJ president
The New York Chapter of the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ) hosted its annual holiday party at the Surrogate’s Court in Manhattan on Thursday night, but it was bittersweet for Justice Kathy J. King as it was her final event as president of the organization.
“In the spirit of the season, I would just like to thank each and every one of you for being here,” King said. “This holiday party marks a special time for me since I am counting down my days as president. So this is a special, special time.”
King reflected on her two-year term as chapter president, but mostly took her time speaking to thank those who helped her.
“I’d like to thank all of you who have supported the organization in your capacities as attorneys, as judges, as court personnel in making the past two years that I served as president successful,” King said. “I tell my son that if anyone tells you that they are successful on their own they are not telling the truth. It takes other people to make you and your organizations a success. I thank you very much for the last two years.”
