2012-2013 Theme: No Teammate Stands Alone
Keynote Speaker: Pat Darcy
NALS of Tucson & So. AZ (formerly Tucson Legal Support Association) held their annual Awards & Appreciation Banquet at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium on April 20, 2012, in honor of the association’s service to the Tucson and southern Arizona legal community. Members and guests in attendance were treated to an evening of fun and celebration with a baseball-inspired theme. Although there was no game to watch, the game of service was afoot.
Retired Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Pat Darcy gave the keynote address highlighting his days with the Cincinnati Reds and farm teams and how team work can correlate to your life and work through involvement in the NALS association and working as a team. This was followed up with words by newly installed President Wendy Carpenter. She told those in attendance how much she loves baseball and how it translates into life with teamwork and that every player is important to the team – to our NTSA team. She also stated that NTSA can stand for "No Teammate Stands Alone" and that we are there for each other and the Tucson legal community through education, certification, and networking.
NTSA also presented its annual Boss of the Year Award to attorney Sally Simpson, a sole practitioner. Newly installed President Wendy Carpenter was presented with the chapter’s 2011 Award of Excellence.
The event concluded with the installation of the chapter’s 2012-2013 officers. NALS of Tucson & So. AZ’s 2012-2013 Board of Officers is: President – Wendy Carpenter (Monroe McDonough Goldschmidt & Molla, P.L.L.C.); President-Elect – Joanne Patterson, PP, PLS, CLA (Office of the Arizona Attorney General); Vice President – Diana Hart, PLS, CLA (Mesch, Clark & Rothschild); Secretary – Kelly Meyer, PLS (Udall Law); Treasurer – Carrie Valenzuela, CLA (Monroe McDonough Goldschmidt & Molla, P.L.L.C.).
PAST EVENTS
The 2010 Awards & Appreciation Banquet was held at the historic Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson, and commemorated NALS of Tucson & So. AZ's 50th Anniversary of existence in the Tucson and southern Arizona legal community. The event was well attended, with local attorney Elliott Glicksman as emcee, and past NALS President (and Tucson resident) Thelma Bambauer as keynote speaker.
To continue the celebration, the 2011 Banquet was an even bigger celebration, bringing in the next 50 years with a party. NTSA hosted a fundraiser "casino night" complete with Texas Hold'em poker, blackjack and bingo, raffles and karaoke entertainment. It was one heck of a good time for everyone.
