| daughters, and she earned her degree in 1995; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Beatriz began her career as an attorney in private | ||

| in Brownsville; she soon became a trusted legal expert, and she | ||
| was proud to have settled two multimillion dollar cases; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Led by her desire to serve the broader public, she | ||

| WHEREAS, Beatriz Lavine has exemplified the highest ideals | ||
