The Boston Bar Association is proud to welcome its officers and Council members for the 2026–2027 program year.
Beginning September 1, these dedicated volunteer leaders will help guide the Association’s work over the coming year, providing strategic direction, strengthening the legal profession, and advancing the BBA’s mission to expand access to justice and serve the broader community. Together, they represent a wide range of practice areas, professional experiences, and perspectives, reflecting the diversity and strength of Boston’s legal community.
We are grateful for their willingness to serve and look forward to the leadership, collaboration, and vision they will bring to the year ahead.
