MAXIMIZE YOUR CAREER GROWTH

Join the National Bar Association

"As the premiers organization of black attorneys in the world, our members have countless opportunities to engage in active discourse about the profession, to create worldwide networks, and exchange information. The benefits of membership are priceless."

Kim M. Keenan, NBA Past President
National Bar Association
Washington, DC

"I bonded with the National Bar Association at my first meeting. The cutting edge seminars with America's best lawyers, the affirmation of the talent and influence of African American lawyers, and the dedication of the organization to civil rights engendered my lifelong commitment to the NBA. Membership in the NBA has made me a better lawyer and a better partner in my firm, and it has been a wonderful experience for my family."

Reginald Turner
NBA Past President
Detroit, MI

"My transition from low law student to attorney was helped tenuously by my membership in the NBA. To watch African American attorneys provide leadership, mentorship and service in action was priceless to my development. Clyde Bailey, Malcolm Robinson, Kim Keenan, Reginald Turner and Travis Richardson are just a few of the many NBA people who I've had the opportunity to see first hand navigate and execute under pressure but all the while displaying poise. The NBA has a great legacy but more importantly a brighter future. I am proud to say I am a member, its not just an obligation but also an honor."

Mishonda Bladwin,
Past President of NBLSA
Baltimore, MD

"I joined the NBA in 1982 as a young lawyer just entering private practice from a government job as a prosecutor. I joined to meet other African-American lawyers. I saw it as a great opportunity to network. It, however, has been more than a networking channel. Membership in the NBA builds your self-esteem as an African-American. It encourages you to succeed. You are motivated to know that you can overcome obstacles and be successful African-American lawyer"
