Sang Yup Lee, CBF Director of Development, completed a successful term as President of the National Conference of Bar Foundations (NCBF) last week with an impressive NCBF Annual Meeting hosted by the Alabama Law Foundation.
The theme for this year’s Annual Meeting was Cornerstone of Progress: Resilience and Access to Justice, and the City of Montgomery and the Legacy Sites spearheaded by Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative could not have served as a better backdrop and inspiration to bring that meeting theme into action.
The meeting featured inspiring remarks from Chief Justice Sarah Stewart of the Alabama Supreme Court as well as timely and practical guidance on issues bar foundations across the country are tackling today, like AI and emerging civil rights challenges.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Sang passed the NCBF leadership gavel to our friend and partner Jessie Reeves, Director of Events & Administration at the Illinois Bar Foundation. Congrats to both Sang and Jessie!
