What an incredible event we had Friday evening! Thank you to all of our sponsors and attendees for making the Hispanic Bar Association of Houston's 35th Annual Gala an incredible success. We celebrated the accomplishments of HisBA, our members, and our next generation of Hispanic and Latinx lawyers and leaders. We also celebrated a number of new records for HisBA:

• This year, HisBA awarded over $50,000 to high school, college, and law school students—awarding more scholarships and more scholarships dollars than ever before, including three Summer Public Interest Fellowships for the first time in HisBA's history.

• Our 35th Annual Gala raised more than we’ve ever raised before, thanks to the generous support of our underwriters!

• Our legal community came through in a historic way with a record-breaking 52 underwriters, and over 425 attendees at our 35th Annual Gala on Friday.

• HisBA's Mentorship Program reached 124 law student mentees, the most mentees in our program's three-year history.

And finally, we recognized four incredible Latinas who are not only shattering glass ceilings, but also being incredibly intentional about lifting up our next generation of lawyers.

Thank you to our Keynote Speaker Sonia Galindo, Executive Vice President - General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of KBR, Inc., for your heartfelt and moving remarks. You are incredible and HisBA is grateful you were able to join us and share your inspiring journey!

Thank you and Congratulations to our honorees:

2023 Judge of the Year: Justice Amparo Yanez Guerra, Texas First Court of Appeals

2023 Trailblazer of the Year: Commissioner Lesley Briones, Harris County Precinct 4

2023 Lifetime Achievement Award: Professor Sandy Guerra Thompson, University of Houston Law Center

HisBA and its members are so fortunate to have our three honorees as active members of our organization. On behalf of the Hispanic Bar Association of Houston, we thank you for your leadership and support throughout the years. You inspire us all. ¡Siempre Adelante!

Congratulations to our HisBA President’s Award recipients: Marisa Leon, Adan Briones, Lena Silva, Islara Irgit, and Ruth Mendez. This year would not have been possible without your hard work and support.
