What a summer!!
This July, as a member of the NBA , I had the privilege in attending the National Bar Association’s 101st conference in Nashville, TN.
I’m still feeling a way that not one colleague informed that this is an annual event and conference that very much SHOULD be a STAPLE event on my professional calendar. When I tell you the NBA gets down, they get down at this annual conference.
Jokes aside, this was a week of reuniting with old friends and colleagues, meeting new friends and forging connections from across the country. I saw colleagues from Memphis, Nashville, Georgia, Texas and, of course, New York. I had a blast, learning, dancing, networking and in unified fellowship. The icing for me was the ability to hear from former Vice President Kamala Harris who shared insightful words in conversation with the immediate past NBA President, Ashley Upkins.
NBA— I will most definitely see everyone next year as well as in meetings/ events in service throughout the year.
