Lisa’s Award

I was honored to attend the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles’ Access to Justice Gala, where I had the privilege of presenting the Maynard Toll Award for Distinguished Public Service to my dear friend and S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls Board Secretary, Lisa Gilford, a partner in the Los Angeles office of Sidley Austin LLP. Lisa is truly deserving of this recognition. Her unwavering commitment to defending civil rights, advancing racial justice, and creating greater opportunities for women, girls, and underrepresented communities exemplifies what it means to use your voice, influence, and expertise to make a difference. Congratulations, Lisa! Your impact is inspiring, and we are incredibly proud of you! 💜👏🏽
