Cullen D. Seltzer, a lawyer with the Business and Professional Litigation team at Sands Anderson PC's Richmond office, has received the Leroy B. Goldberg Leadership Award from the Weinstein JCC at a ceremony on May 24, firm President M. Pierce Rucker announced today.

"Cullen's community and civic leadership is well known in our firm and the legal community, and we are proud of this distinction that he has received by virtue of his long-standing work for the Weinstein JCC," said Rucker.

The Leroy B.

Seltzer is president-elect of the Weinstein JCC, located on Monument Avenue, which is dedicated "to the well-being of the people of all ages and faiths, strives to maintain the highest standards for facilities and programming and offers classes, services and events that meet the needs of the greater Richmond Community," according to the organization's website.

Seltzer has experience in a wide range of commercial litigation including business torts, contractual disputes, and employment matters. He received his J.D. in 1993 from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond, where he was a member of the Moot Court Board and was published by the Law Review. He received his B.A. from Mary Washington College in 1990 after majoring in International Affairs and was the recipient of the Anne E. Fitschen Award for the Outstanding Student in Political Science.
