Perspectives on Bar Leadership

Brief Encounters sits down with Ellen Jakovic, president of the D.C. Bar; Candace Beck, president of the Women’s Bar Association; and Rawle Andrews, president of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, to discuss their journeys to leadership of their respective organizations. In addition, the trio gives insights on the role of bar organizations, the landscape for membership organizations today, and the particular challenges faced by the organized bar. Pamela Robinson, D.C. Bar Communities Office director, moderates the discussion.

Please note, the positions and opinions expressed by the speakers are strictly their own, and do not necessarily represent the views of their employers, nor those of the D.C. Bar, its Board of Governors or co-sponsoring Communities and organizations.

This year, the D.C. Bar turns 50! Since 1972, the D.C. Bar has been setting the gold standard for legal excellence. Join us as we commemorate the trailblazing accomplishments and ideals that have shaped our history and define how we can continue to raise the bar for the next 50 years — together.
