At Zea Proukou, we are proud to celebrate a meaningful professional achievement for our partner, Randi Proukou. During the Greater Rochester Association for Women Attorneys (GRAWA) Annual Installation Dinner, Randi was not only installed for her third term as Treasurer—marking her eighth year of service on the Board—but was also honored with the prestigious Hanna S. Cohn Mentoring Award. This recognition highlights Randi’s longstanding commitment to mentoring, supporting, and encouraging the next generation of legal professionals throughout Rochester, NY, and the Finger Lakes region.

What Is the Hanna S. Cohn Mentoring Award?

The Hanna S. Cohn Mentoring Award is presented annually by GRAWA to a woman attorney who has demonstrated exceptional dedication to mentoring young women as they enter and develop their legal careers. The award recognizes individuals who have invested their time, knowledge, and leadership to help others succeed within the legal profession.

Mentorship plays a critical role in fostering confidence, professional growth, and long-term success for attorneys at every stage of their careers. By sharing experience and guidance, mentors help strengthen both the legal community and the clients it serves. This award reflects the lasting impact mentorship can have on future generations of attorneys.
