BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OCBA PresidentNikki P. MilibandGood Wildmangoodwildman.com
2018Each year, Orange County Lawyer magazine publishes an up-to-date list of the OCBA leadership as a service to our readers. It is through the dedication and continued efforts of the gracious volunteers who make up the OCBA Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Section Leadership, and Committee Chairs that the Bar is able to develop networking, educational, and community outreach events throughout the year in support of the OCBA’s mission:
To enhance the system of justice, to support the lawyers who serve it,
and to assist the community served by it.
The 2018 Executive Committee is led by this year’s OCBA President Nikki Presley Miliband, who is a partner at Good Wildman where she focuses her practice in the areas of probate and trust litigation. Since joining the OCBA in 1992, Miliband has chaired the OCBA Legislative Resolutions, Lawyer Referral Information Service, Mentoring, Appointments, and Nominating committees.
The OCBA Board of Directors also welcomes four newly added members. They are Kate Corrigan, Corrigan Welbourn Stokke, APLC; Kelly L. Galligan, Rutan & Tucker LLP; Yolanda V. Torres, Law Office of Yolanda V. Torres; and Kimberly A. Knill, Court of Appeal.
To access the complete OCBA membership directory, please visit www.ocbar.org.
