Mediator Jose G. Rodriguez Honored With Leadership Award

MediationWorks Mediator Jose G. Rodriguez was awarded the Justice Labarga Leadership Award at the Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association’s Annual Justice Labarga Luncheon at the Kravis Center in Palm Beach County on August 20.

Justice Jorge Labarga served as the event’s guest host and presented the Leadership Award. Justice Labarga attends every year’s event in his honor to support Hispanic attorneys in the legal profession.

“As a founding member and past President of the Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association, I want to congratulate the entire Association for the great growth in membership and achievements since its founding 30 years ago,” stated Rodriguez. “I am both humbled and honored by my selection to receive the Justice Labara Award for 2021.”
