Greetings! The National Bar Association’s (NBA) 88th annual convention is quickly approaching and IMPACT is excited to announce the “2013Nation’sBestAdvocates:40LawyersUnder40” awards celebration is back! The Nation’s Best Advocates is a collaborative effort from IMPACT and the NBA to highlight young lawyers who are proving to be the next generation of leaders.

Over the last three years, we have honored a dynamic group of advocates that include members of Congress, presidential campaign staffers, educators and a wide-selection of those in both the private and public sector. Each honoree continuously proves their commitment to causes that have lifted our communities. These passionate young leaders have continued to push the same purposes that have driven the National Bar Association for almost 90 years.

As last year’s gala host Jeff Johnson put it, the Nation’s Best Advocates “have been tremendously successful in their efforts to help others through activism, innovation, leadership and service.” This year, we again look for leaders who excel in achievement, innovation, vision, leadership and legal community involvement.

Founded in Des Moines, Iowa, by 12 African American legal pioneers, the National Bar Association (NBA) has been in the forefront of the struggle for equal justice since 1925. As the nation’s oldest and largest organiza-tion of predominantly African American attorneys, the NBA membership encompasses lawyers, judges, law professors, administrators and law students.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the NBA has 88 affiliate chapters in the United States and the Virgin Islands; and seven national divisions which include the Judicial Council, Women Lawyers and Law Students Divisions. The NBA has international members and affiliate bar chapters in Canada, Cote d’Ivoire, England, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Puerto Rico, South Africa and Uganda.

The NBA’s network of over 40,000 consists of some of the nation’s top attorneys and business people. As executives and decision makers, the NBA’s constituency controls millions in procurement and consumer dollars. While some are corporate or government managers, many represent large

to small firms and solo practitioners interested in a wide variety of products and services. Whether in the public or private sector, African American attorneys are constantly seeking opportunities for professional and personal growth.
