Recognizing Honorary ALPA Members
At the conclusion of Monday’s opening officer reports, Board of Directors (BOD) delegates got right to business finalizing committee assignments and late agenda items. Also during this plenary session, the BOD recognized by acclamation four retired ALPA staff members and a former partner at ALPA’s long-time outside law firm as honorary members of the Association.
DePete individually summoned Jonathan Cohen, former general counsel and Legal Department director; Betty Ginsburg, previous Representation Department director; Ana McAhron-Schulz, prior Economic & Financial Analysis Department director; and Clay Warner, past senior managing attorney from the Legal Department, to the podium where the union president presented each with a gold ALPA membership card. DePete also recognized former Cohen, Weiss and Simon partner Stephen Moldof with this special tribute. Moldof passed away in 2020, but his wife and son were able to participate in this special ceremony.
