Leadership

From the President's Desk

The recent years will go down in history as a turning point in American History. There has been the health pandemic with COVID-19, the unrest due to racial injustice, police brutality, and the insurrection of January 6. 


Into this period of transition in the United States, the National Association of Bench and Bar Spouses (NABBS) is framing itself as an organization that educates and mobilizes to bring awareness to the issues which concern our community. In partnership with the National Bar Association (NBA), we hope to address these issues on a local, regional and national level. Our NABBS Chapters and Regional Representatives will be asked to assist the NBA with voter registration drives, educational forums, and other events. 


Technology has given us virtual platforms to bring the needed information to our communities to assist them as they make important decisions regarding their healthcare, voting rights, and the well being of themselves and their families. 


On a lighter note, NABBS will continue to be an organization of fun, fellowship (even if virtual) and family. It is a place where you can let your hair down and do a little dance and have a little fun.


I can’t wait to see you in Memphis. When we all get together what a time! What a time!
