Cancellation: Calvin Ashland Awards Dinner (COVID-19)

Message from the cdcbaa President

We have all become accustomed to ending the year with this celebration, but I expect that our members are not surprised by this decision in light of the safety concerns that we are all facing due to the pandemic. We must adhere to orders from local and state authorities, and therefore the presentation of the Calvin Ashland Judge of the Year Award will be postponed until next year, November 2021 – when we will be able to honor Chief Judge Maureen Tighe in person. I am looking forward to gathering together again with my fellow cdcbaa members and seeing so many familiar faces in person in a safe, healthy (and probably very busy) 2021. -Hale Andrew Antico, President
