About the Convention
NBA 101st Annual Convention
As we gather in Nashville, America’s Music City and home to some of our nation’s most influential Black musical traditions, we step into the NBA’s next century with a theme that reflects both who we are and where we are going.
The Rhythm of Excellence speaks to the steady, intentional, and historic beat of the National Bar Association. For more than a century, our members have shaped the legal landscape with courage, brilliance, and determination. That rhythm continues today: strong, grounded, and unmistakably ours.
The Power of Promise reminds us that the NBA’s future is bright because of the work we commit to right now: our pipeline programs, our advocacy, our leadership development, our partnerships, and our collective investment in the next generation of Black lawyers and judges
The Energy of Now recognizes the urgency of this moment in America. The challenges facing our communities demand our expertise AND our action. It also demands our influence and our unified resolve. It calls us to step forward strategically and together while doing so boldly.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Nashville as we continue the work, lift our voices, and move in a rhythm that will carry our Association and our communities forward, together.
