Empowering Workers' Rights Attorneys
Each year, NELA honors members of our community for their distinguished service, inspiring leadership, and strong commitment to the cause of justice for workers. At the 2023 Annual Gala Fundraiser, NELA honored Katherine L. Butler (TX), Chiquita Hall-Jackson (IL), Lauren A. Khouri (DC), David L. Lee (IL), and Robin B. Potter (IL).
As our most important fundraiser, the NELA Gala is vital to our mission of empowering workers’ rights advocates. The Board, Fundraising Committee, and staff extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous Gala sponsors and all who contributed to the Gala’s success. For more information contact Leah A. Hofkin, NELA’s Director of Development (Tel: (415) 625-5421; Email: lhofkin@niwr.org).
