We need support from our members, sections, divisions, and supporters!
In order for our subsequent leaders to have a successful bar year, we must continue to constantly raise funds to support the programs and objectives of our organization. This guarantees the NBA’s long-term fiscal stability and allows us to consistently carry out our important mission.
Our goal is to raise one million dollars. These funds will be used to accomplish three goals:
- Purchase a national headquarters for the NBA
- Fully fund the H.T. Smith Endowment Fund
- Provide funding for board approved long term strategic projects
