Educate Advocate Support Advance
Welcome
Additional Sponsors
2014 marks the 10-year anniversar y of the
organization and we are thrilled to have you with us
tonight to help celebrate. Through your support, we
are able to heighten awareness and demonstrate the
inseparable connection between the courts’ ability to
timely and fairly adjudicate legal rights and each
individual’s quality of life. When exposed to this
information, new advocates are born, elected officials
take note and government becomes accountable. We
are thankful for individuals like you, who understand
that the rule of law is the bedrock of our civilized
society; and that a healthy court system is essential to
a strong, prosperous and vibrant community.
Whenever possible, we also offer seed money to
initiate smarter and innovative judicial programs that
further build public trust and confidence in our
courts. Mecklenburg County has a proud tradition of
developing progressive services that have brought
forth national recognition and admiration. We are
honored to have played some part in that success. We
appreciate your attendance here tonight and hope you
will help us in continuing to support those
innovations yet to come.

Thank You.
