🎉 COALA was honored to celebrate Oklahoma County District Court Judge Anthony L. Bonner as he steps into his role as the next Oklahoma County Bar Association () President. Congratulations, Judge Bonner! 👏

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you and farewell to outgoing President Todd Blasdel for his dedicated leadership and service to our legal community.

Judge Bonner's message to us all: "Raise the bar." He challenged everyone in attendance to reflect on how we can each raise the bar in our community — in how we serve, how we lead, and how we show up for one another.

How will you raise the bar? Let us know in the comments below!
