McGee, Tamura, and Carlson Honored at the SCBA’s Annual Meeting by Betsy S. Kimball
On
December 5th, the Sacramento County Bar Association held its annual meeting at the Sheraton Grand. Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg gave the keynote address, sharing some of his thoughts as incoming mayor. He also spoke of working in the Legislature with the SCBA’s Distinguished Attorney of the Year, Fredericka McGee, calling her “the best in the business.” In her remarks, McGee issued a call to action. “It’s time for dialogue,” she said. Attorneys must be “at the forefront of changing the tone of the discourse” in the country. Outgoing SCBA President Heather Cline Hoganson presented the 2016 President’s Award to Russell Carlson, and VLSP managing attorney Vicki Jacobs presented the 2016 June
