The Finishing Touch — Weddings, Events, Design, Paperie

As we are gearing up for the Hispanic Bar Association’s Annual Scholarship Gala on May 1st, we wanted to take a look back at last year’s Installation Ceremony held at the W Hoboken. See below for details:

On October 29th, the 30th Installation Ceremony of the President and 2009/2010 Officers and Trustees of the Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey (HBA-NJ) took place at the swanky W Hotel in Hoboken.  It was attended by over 250 guests including federal and state court judges, elected officials including Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, business leaders, and legal professionals. The Honorable Julio M. Fuentes, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, administered the oath of office for the new president and board of trustees.

Guests enjoyed the W’s fabulous food and cocktails and listened to smooth Latin Jazz by the Juilliard Jazz Ensemble.  Gorgeous floral décor was provided by Sue Smith of The Romantic Garden.

The Finishing Touch team had the honor of creating beautiful full color commemorative journals as well as striking save the dates, invitations, and signage for the event.  We worked closely with the Association’s new president, Miguel Alexander Pozo, Esq., to project his inspiring theme for the year of “Dare to Dream” throughout the materials for the event.  

Mr. Pozo is a litigation partner at Lowenstein Sandler, P.C., one of New Jersey’s largest and most prestigious law firms.  He was recognized as one of New Jersey's top "40 Under 40" lawyers by the New Jersey Law Journal (2009) and was named to NJBiz magazine's 2009 "Forty Under 40" list honoring individuals who exhibit "excellence in business, commitment to community and professional development.  He was also named to DTM magazine's 2009 Latino Trendsetters list, and has been named a "Rising Star" by New Jersey Super Lawyers magazine (2007) and listed among New Jersey Law Journal’s "50 Leading Women and Minority Attorneys" (2005).  We congratulate Miguel on his installation as the 30th President of this prestigious organization and wish him much success. 

“The Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey is a 501 (c) (6) statewide organization which represents the interests of attorneys, judges, law professors and law students who share a common interest in resolving the issues affecting Hispanics within the legal community. The purpose of the Association is to serve the public interest by cultivating the art and science of jurisprudence, by advancing the standing of the legal profession, by preserving high standards of integrity, honor, and professional courtesy among Hispanic lawyers.”  For more information on the HBA and the upcoming Gala, please visit their website at www.njhba.org.
