About Us

 What an honor to be elected the 7th President of the NABBS Foundation! Since its establishment in 1994, the significant importance and relevance of the Foundation in its supporting role to NABBS, Inc. present a wonderful challenge for us this year, as may be the case for many other not-for-profit organizations across the nation and in the world. The grand history and legacy of this Foundation has resulted from the leadership of accomplished and dedicated prior presidents to whom I am most grateful and to whom I give great tribute.

I am committed to leading our devoted team of officers, board of directors, and members to achievements in fundraising to successfully and collectively meet our goals for the benefit of our President’s Endowment, support for our annual National Convention Health Forums: the Bonnie P. and Grace Laws Wheatley Breast Cancer Forum and the Dr. Annie Lawrence Brown Health Initiatives; expand and develop the Healthcare Advocates Committee, as well as, focus on development efforts to benefit the Dorothy Atkinson Legal Education Scholarship granted to law students who qualify, and to further endow the many other funds established and managed by the Foundation for many years.

With more than 20 years of Foundation administration, management, fundraising, grant writing, and reporting in the private sector, State and Federal levels, corporations and businesses, let no obstacle deter us from moving forward with confidence and in collaboration with our established partners: NABBS, Inc., NBA, NBI, law firms, colleges and universities, and other entities that will want to take advantage of the opportunity to support our work. Together, we will enhance and expand the programs of NABBS, Inc. and its Foundation.

For those who have given to the Foundation in the past, and to those who plan to give this year, I extend heartfelt thanks to you! It is our intention to further engage you with an understanding that each gift is an investment. Thank you in advance for your interest in our Foundation and we look forward to you, your family, friends, colleagues, and others joining us through your participation and support which are critical to both NABBS, Inc. and its Foundation. I am eager to let you get as excited as we all are about this fundraising year!

With kindest regards and in appreciation,

Katherine Wright Davis

NABBS Foundation President
