Elder law attorney Anthony J. Enea, managing partner of Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP in Somers and White Plains, N.Y., has been elected president of the Westchester County Bar Foundation.

Through our public interest law fellowship, for example, we provide legal help to the county's underserved residents as well as training to new lawyers who otherwise might not have the opportunity to do public interest work.”
