December 2011 Monthly Luncheon with José E. Gaitán The Gaitán Group
Come join us and listen to José's life success story that he is ready to share with us. José is a real hidden gem in Seattle.
Although he is well known in the legal and justice arena, he is not in
the spot light very much. The public doesn't have much opportunity to
learn from José. As an average kid who was born and raised in Seattle,
he roamed Capital Hill
and played with Ruby Chow's children. José started his career as a
lawyer sharing the same room with Gary Locke. Today, with so much
accomplishments under his belt, he is gracious enough to share some of
his secrets with us.
