A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am honored and thankful to have been elected this year's president by the Desert Palm Legal Professionals Association (DPLPA) members.

​

In 2011, I met one of the original members of this great association, her name was FLORENCE ROSS.  I was so intrigued by her stories, trials, and tribulations in her legal career and her continued support for the community.  I was so touched by her passion to keep the association going that I made her a promise to do the same.

​

Like many businesses, DPLPA had it tough through the pandemic and we survived because of volunteers who have their hearts set on this association to thrive. 

​

This past year, three volunteers ran the association by committee, and I am happy to announce that we have a full board.

​

I have grown in many ways, and I am fully committed to this association and its members.  My goal is to see other legal professionals grow in their professional capacity, self-empower, grow their network and connect with other legal professionals. 

DPLPA is not just an association, it's a family of Legal Professionals.

Erika Garduno

President, DPLPA 2023-2024
