The WBA kicks off its program year with Stars of the Bar. The event is attended by leaders in the DC legal community, women and men alike, who gather to network, learn more about the WBA, and celebrate our Stars.

This year's program will be hybrid: a great celebration for both those who join us in person and remotely. We will honor star-quality lawyers who embody our 2022-2023 bar year theme, “Choosing Courage, Leading Authentically, Being Well.”

We are pleased to announce our star-quality honorees. Join us on September 22, at 5 pm to recognize their achievements:

Michele Craddock, Member, Craddock Law PLC

Dean David Jaffe, Esq., Associate Dean for Student Affairs, American University Washington College of Law

Reta Jo Lewis, President and Chair of the Board of Directors, Export-Import Bank of the United States

Amy Nelson, Director of Legal Services, Whitman-Walker Health

We will also recognize WBA Board member Upnit Bhatti for the 2022 Mussey-Gillett Shining Star Award. The Mussey-Gillett Shining Star Award was established by the Women's Bar Association to recognize women who go above and beyond through volunteer activities within the WBA.

There is no fee to attend, but registration is required.
