DHBA 5th Annual Lighting the Path to Legal Education
On September 30, 2010, the DHBA and the DHBASF celebrated the Fifth Annual Lighting the Path to Legal Education at the Belo Mansion. The DHBA honored Adelfa B. Callejo with the La Luz Award, which was presented by Representative Rafael Anchia. Ms. Callejo was recognized for her decades of service to the Hispanic community, her leadership in the promotion of Hispanic legal and civic organizations, and her achievements as a leader in the Dallas community.
The DHBA also presented Carlos M. Hernandez, Senior Vice-President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of Fluor Corporation and the Fluor Corporation Law Department with Corporate Counsel Diversity Award.

The DHBA President, Jose Ortiz, also presented Michele Wong Krause with the 2010 DHBA President’s Award. Ms. Wong is a past DHBA President and current Dallas Bar Association Director.
