The award honors the memory of Gerald B.

It is presented to veteran current or former NJAJ members who, like Gerald B. O'Connor, have had a stellar legal career and have exhibited skill, creativity and professionalism as a trial attorney.

Giordano previously served in a number of executive leadership positions at NJAJ including as President-Elect and 1st Vice President. She has co-chaired NJAJ's annual Boardwalk Seminar® and is a frequent lecturer at its Boardwalk and Meadowlands CLE programs, and presently serves as co-chair of NJAJ's Medical Malpractice Committee and Legislative Committee. She is also a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, among other posts.
