President Mavis Thompson
Greetings
Thank you for the honor and privilege of being your National Bar Association President.
My administration will stand by the goals set forth in my platform while campaigning
for this position. We will strive to create a more engaging, active and structured
organization. Setting the course for fiscal solvency of the NBA, as well as listening
to and addressing the concerns of NBA members, are just two of the ways we plan to
begin this process. Other goals for the NBA include implementing programs to address
each of the strategic planning goals.
Additionally, several signature programs will be implemented that will address current legal issues and specific needs of the National Bar Association. Details of these programs will be unveiled in the near future.
We must always remember that the strength of this great organization is in the diversity of all of its members; and it is our commonly shared vision of access to justice and equality for all that unites us. It is only through collective unity that we will be able to maximize our impact to change the world. As we are living in a new era of national leadership and global influence, it is especially important for us as attorneys to be committed to leaving our legacy of leadership through service programs and successful partnerships with other professional and civic organizations.
The NBA needs you to become more involved on the national and local level. I challenge each of you to join a committee and provide creative solutions to further the goals and objectives of the NBA. Likewise, we need your service in your immediate community. It is the local affiliates that allow us to extend our reach into the homes and lives of millions of people, both domestically and internationally. The grassroots efforts and close ties of our local affiliates to the community enable the NBA to address the needs and concerns of society.
I pray that you are inspired and will find some way you can best serve the NBA and your affiliate. I look forward to serving and working with you!
