Goldmark Award Luncheon

The Legal Foundation of Washington will host the 15th Annual Goldmark Award Luncheon on Friday, February 23, 2001 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center from noon to 1:30 p.m. The Legal Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which has provided over $51,000,000 for legal services to the poor since 1985.

Kenneth A. MacDonald of MacDonald Hoague & Bayless will receive the Goldmark Award for Distinguished Service in recognition of his exceptional leadership and tireless lifelong efforts to expand access to our justice system for society’s poorest and most vulnerable people. Known for his involvement in civil rights litigation since the late 1940s, Ken MacDonald co-founded what is today known as the Washington State Human Rights Commission.

The Honorable Robert F. Utter, retired Chief Justice of the Washington State Supreme Court, will give the keynote address. Justice Utter, a leading expert on constitutional law, currently is on the Advisory Board to the American Bar Association’s Central and Eastern European Law Initiative.

The Goldmark Award honors the memory of Charles A. Goldmark, Seattle attorney, community leader, and ardent supporter of access to justice. Mr. Goldmark was the Legal Foundation’s president at the time of the tragic assault in 1986 that led to his death. We invite the public to attend the luncheon, where we pay tribute through the Goldmark name to statewide volunteer lawyer programs, and civil legal services providers.
