A celebration is in order. The Federal Bar Association will turn 100 on January 5, 2020!

In honor of this incredible milestone the FBA has put together a Centennial Celebration Committee comprised of current and past leaders who represent seven federal circuits plus our National President Maria Vathis, and President-elect Christian Adams. The Committee, supported by FBA National Staff, are planning a 10-month long celebration that will be experienced locally, regionally, and nationally both online and in person.

Over the next few months, FBA National Staff and the Centennial Celebration Committee will provide you with interesting facts about our 100-year history, invitations to Centennial-themed events, and marketing tools and tips to help you celebrate our Centennial birthday with fellow members, leaders, and legal communities around the country.

The first initiative we are excited to announce is the 20K x 2020 Chapter Challenge.

As mentioned by FBA Membership Chair Jonathan Hafen in his Challenge email, the FBA aims to hit another milestone: 20,000 members in 2020. To achieve our goal, we’re launching a new member recruitment campaign with monthly themes and prizes, plus cash prizes going to the top-three performing chapters when the Challenge ends in February 2020.
