President's Message
Tanya L. Forsheit
WLALA President 2011-2012
 WHEREAS, I have to write my January President’s Message;
WHEREAS, it is New Year’s Eve; and
WHEREAS, it is the time of year that people make resolutions for the coming year;
LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT I SHALL ENDEAVOR IN GOOD FAITH TO DO THE FOLLOWING IN 2012:
1. Procrastinate Less.
I must find fewer excuses to procrastinate. I can always come up with a great reason why it was such a good thing I waited to write my President’s Message this month. This month, for example, I did not know until the week before January that the Governor would appoint not one, but TWO, longtime WLALA Board members, to the bench. On December 27, 2011, Governor Brown announced the appointments of WLALA Bet Tzedek Liaison Michelle Williams Court and WLALA Board Member at Large Holly J. Fujie to judgeships in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Michelle has worked for Bet Tzedek since 2002, including serving currently as vice president and general counsel. Michelle earned her JD from Loyola Law School and a BA from Pomona College. Holly has been an equity shareholder for Buchalter Nemer since 1991. Holly also served as president of the State Bar of California from 2008 to 2009. She earned her JD and BA from UC Berkeley.
This leads me to my next resolution:
