The Member of the Year award recognizes MCBA members who devote an exceptional amount of time and talent to the Association, the legal profession and the community. Selection criteria for the award include a current member of the MCBA who significantly contributes to the programs and activities of the MCBA, who dedicates themselves to furthering the goals of the legal profession, and who shows an outstanding commitment to community service.

She has been an active member since 2003, having served as secretary, treasurer, president-elect, president and, currently, immediate past president. Ms. Cranston also served as president of the MCBA Young Lawyers Division in 2007.
