PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We will host heritage events to highlight the diversity of our city and partner with underserved schools to discuss with our youth the law as it relates to artificial intelligence and gaming. We will continue to forge relationships and internships with our law school students - our next generation of leaders. We will highlight committed legal leaders and host continuing legal education programs in our courts and bar association. Excitedly, we will undertake our inaugural international midwinter conference in partnership with another leading bar association!
Our officers and directors are looking forward to serving Brooklyn and Beyond with our great partners in the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, and, of course, the Judiciary Branch, of which I am a proud jurist. Already, at our installation, our Majority Leader-Senator Charles Schumer, Minority Leader- Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, and New York State Assembly member Latrice Walker graced us with words of wisdom. Our very own Brooklyn attorney and New York State Bar Association President, Domenick Napoletano, and New York Law School’s Dean and President, Anthony W. Crowell, energized us to continue to uphold the bar and are eager to partner with us!
We are charged and ready to advance the rule of law! It will be a civically transformative and impactful year- from the community We come to the community We go! In the mantra of my parents, “You give because you are asked” and it is your duty to “Serve the people!” I look forward to serving at the helm and leading with BWBA’s dynamic women in the law and judiciary. I warmly invite members of the bench and bar to serve with us in Brooklyn and Beyond!
BWBA In Service!
Civically Engaged in Law and Leadership in Brooklyn and Beyond!

It is with humble pride and honor that I serve as the president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association. Since 1918, this organization has been led by Brooklyn’s finest women lawyers and judges, serving the legal community with distinction and to whom I am thankful.
