Section and Division Recognition Awards

The application period for the 2026 Awards is now open.

The many achievements that our FBA sections and divisions have accomplished throughout the year are acknowledged annually. Categories of recognition include section and division administration and leadership efforts, substantive programming and content, and membership outreach and communication. The awards not only highlight the areas in which outstanding FBA sections and divisions benefit its members, but also how it increases the value of FBA membership as a whole.

Awards will cover the operations and achievements of FBA Sections and Divisions for the past award year (June 1–May 31). Please limit your responses to activities that occurred during this time. We encourage the inclusion of virtual programming such as webinars and online presentations. Explanations should be detailed enough to give the awards committee an accurate picture of your Section and Division activity.

If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact awards@fedbar.org.

2026 award applications are due May 15.
