DBA…LEADING THE WAY!

Now is a great time to be a leader in the Denver Bar Association (“DBA”)! The DBA has been leading the way in our state and in our profession for many years. Our leaders have been from diverse backgrounds, locations, and populations. This diversity and inclusivity have been evident over the last few years because the DBA has taken profound steps to engage members across the state and in underrepresented communities to serve in leadership positions. These efforts are exemplified by the fact that the DBA has had three consecutive female presidents from different parts of the state! 

This work toward greater inclusivity, however, is far from complete. The DBA continues to recruit leaders who represent all members of the DBA and to develop a leadership pipeline comprised of members from a wide range of positions, personal histories, identities, and geographic representation. As amended in 2020, the DBA’s Mission & Values Statements demonstrate our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusivity throughout the Association:

The DBA seeks inclusion and equity through broad recognition of diversity, including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, national origin, socio-economic status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, geography, political beliefs, ideology, spiritual beliefs, years of practice, and practice settings. We prioritize broad, equitable, and inclusive participation in our membership and leadership. The DBA is dedicated to promoting attorneys of all backgrounds, identities, and circumstances through the removal of barriers to engagement and leadership.

Eligible applicants for DBA Leadership are:
  • DBA members in good standing.
  • Interested in serving in a leadership role for the DBA.
  • Experienced and engaged in areas important to the operation and long-term success of the DBA.
  • Individuals who possess qualities reflecting integrity, independence, leadership, good judgment, wisdom, an inquiring mind, vision, a proven record of accomplishment, and an ability to work well with others.
Please use this form to provide useful information about yourself and the reasons for your interest in DBA leadership. You may attach additional pages if required.
