Brooklyn Bar Association honors four, including Gregory Cerchione at annual awards
The Brooklyn Bar Association honored four people during its annual awards ceremony in Brooklyn Heights on Wednesday including past president Gregory Cerchione, who received the Distinguished Service Award.
The other honorees included Stephen Z. Williamson, Ian J. Gaynor and Armida Alarcon. They each received a plaque during a ceremony in front of nearly 150 members of the bar association.
The immediate past president of the BBA, Aimee Richter, served as the mistress of ceremony for the event. When she presented Cerchione with his award, she mentioned that he played a vital role in helping her as president, especially after executive director Avery Eli Okin took an extended absence for health-related reasons.
