A New York-based attorney with over three decades of experience, Gary Gash has served as a partner at Gash & Associates, PC, in White Plains since 1989. Over the course of his career as an attorney, Gary Gash has held memberships in several professional groups, including the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA).
In a statement on the Bar’s website, NYSBA recently announced that Lesley Rosenthal is the recipient of the 2017 Root/Stimson Award. Named in honor of Elihu Root and Henry Stimson, the award is handed out annually to NYSBA member attorneys who demonstrate a commitment to supporting the community through public service.
As executive vice president and general counsel of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Rosenthal has led efforts to reduce outside legal spending through the procurement of pro bono legal services. Her approach to obtaining volunteer legal counsel later led to the development of NYSBA’s Charity Corps, a statewide program that connects New York-based nonprofits with pro bono legal services they would otherwise be unable to afford.
Through her volunteer activities, Rosenthal helped raise approximately $1 million for the Weinberg Center for Elder Abuse Prevention. She also recently launched a music program for youth in Afghanistan. Within NYSBA, Rosenthal leads the By-Laws Committee and serves as vice president of the New York Bar Foundation. She received the 2017 Root/Stimson Award during an NYSBA delegates meeting held in Cooperstown in June.
