The Taxation Section has selected William K. “Bill” Norman as recipient of its prestigious Dana Latham Award for lifetime achievement in the field of taxation law. Norman will be honored at the section’s annual award luncheon on June 6 at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel. Arthur “Kip” Dellinger, C.P.A., partner at Kallman and Co.
