The Collaborative Bar Leadership Academy (CBLA) continues to stand as a beacon of progress in fostering diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. As Committee Chair of CBLA 2025, I am honored to invite you to join us for this transformative event, scheduled from Sunday, June 29, through Tuesday, July 1, 2025, in Washington, DC.
CBLA is a joint initiative led by the American Bar Association and its Commissions on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession and Disability Rights, in partnership with the Hispanic National Bar Association, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, National Bar Association, National LGBT Bar Association, National Native American Bar Association, and the South Asian Bar Association of North America. Together, these organizations collaborate to build a strong pipeline of diverse bar association leaders, equipping them with the tools to lead with purpose and drive meaningful change.
