APABA congratulates Board member Mia Yamamoto who will be presented with the ABA Spirit of Excellence Award, February 9, 2008.
The ABA Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession will be holding its annual Spirit of Excellence Awards luncheon on Saturday, February 9, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. This prestigious national award recognizes lawyers who excel in their professional settings; who personify excellence on the national, state, or local level; and who have demonstrated a commitment to racial and ethnic diversity in the legal profession. Among this year’s seven award recipients is current APABA Board member Mia Yamamoto. http://www.abanet.org/minorities/spirit/home.html
