On September 22, 2011, the NHWBA will be holding its 12th annual Fall Reception at The Concord Country Club. The reception will include the presentation of the 2011 Marilla M. Ricker Achievement Award. The Ricker award honors an outstanding woman lawyer in New Hampshire who has achieved professional excellence or paved the way to success for other women lawyers, advanced opportunities for women in the profession, or performed exemplary public service on behalf of women. This year, the Ricker award will be presented to Lucy C. Hodder, Esquire.

Attorney Hodder is a shareholder in the health care practice group of Rath, Young and Pignatelli, P.C. She has been named one of The Best Lawyers in America by Woodward White, as well as a New England Super Lawyer for health care law. She is a board member of the Women's Policy Institute and was appointed to the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Women beginning in 1998, and chaired the commission from 2003 to 2004. In support of the nomination of Attorney Hodder for the Ricker Award, one of her nominators wrote: "In addition to her strong commitment to her clients, Lucy is equally devoted to advancing the causes of women to improve their health, welfare and well-being and to increase the likelihood of women's success and achievement in all avenues of life. She has been an outstanding mentor and role model for younger women attorneys, both within the firm and around the State."

Join us for a night of recognition of the achievements of Attorney Hodder, as well as a night of networking with our members. The reception is from 5:30-7:30p.m. and is open to the public. No RSVP is required. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will be provided.
