The question of what women lawyers really want is explored by the Complete Lawyer in its current issue.
Please save the date for the annual NCWL Fundraiser on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2008. It will be held from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Hilltop Room of the beautiful Carneros Inn.
We have the following upcoming speakers for NCWL:
October 15: John Tuteur, Napa County Assessor-Recorder/County Clerk - His politically-neutral talk entitled "Counting Votes and Making Votes Count" will be about the upcoming election and the election process in Napa County.
John is in his third term as Napa County’s elected Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk. John served for 11 years as County Assessor prior to the January 1998 consolidation of the offices. John’s earlier public service included two terms as Napa County Supervisor from 1973 to 1980. Thanks to the efforts of the dedicated staff of the three divisions, Assessor, Recorder-County Clerk and Elections, we have started the new millennium with integrated public access to remodeled Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk offices, client-server, image-based computer systems for all three divisions and a voter-friendly voting system. John lives with his wife, Vee, and the third and fourth generations of ranchers on the cattle ranch that the family has owned and managed since 1951. John holds degrees from Yale University and UC Berkeley and has taught at the community college level. John’s community service includes serving as volunteer environmental consultant to our local Assembly representative, volunteer teacher’s aide and docent in the public schools, and President and Board member of the Napa Valley Foundation.
