On July 12, 2016, the Santa Monica Bar Association hosted its annual summer party at the Pacific Palisades home of past president Sandra Segal Polin, with over 70 attorneys, mediators and professionals in attendance.  The membership also voted in new Board of Trustee members Joanna Chen (Cislo & Thomas LLP), Sarah Christian (Gilbert & Stern LLP) and David Gharakhanian (GP Law Group) for the 2017-2019 term.  They will be installed in October at the Installation Dinner.
