In her remarks at the online award ceremony on October 30th, Betty attributed her successes to the hard work and dedication of many others including staff, Board, donors, and volunteers over nearly four decades. She connected the inequities that the Pandemic has laid bare to the Center’s important social justice work and illustrated it with a brief client story. Presenting the award to her was well-regarded family law attorney Larry A. Ginsberg, CFLS, himself a Center volunteer, Board President, and benefactor for 35 years who said Betty was “a tenacious force for good” and that she “truly embodies the best in us.”
