In recognition of being named Top Judge of the Year for 2018, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren recently attended an awards gala hosted by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP). Accompanied by his wife Shannon Richey, Warren was recognized along with other top professionals from a wide array of fields and careers. IAOTP is an international boutique networking organization which handpicks the world's finest, most prestigious top professionals from different industries. While inclusion with IAOTP is an honor, only a few members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction.
These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, longevity in the field, and other affiliations and contributions to their communities. All honorees are invited to attend the IAOTP's annual award gala at the end of the year for a night to honor their achievements. The 2018 Gala was hosted at the Plaza in New York City. IAOTP presented a video highlighting Warren's accomplishments, which can be accessed at https://youtu.be/ve4V4BjeCVs.
Stephanie Cirami, president of IAOTP remarked, "Choosing Judge Warren for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. He is brilliant, his list of accomplishments and accolades are very impressive, he has tremendous foresight, extensive knowledge, and is a visionary of his time. We are truly honored to have him as our Top Judge of the Year and we know we will be seeing more great things from this man!"
