IMMEDIATE RELEASE

D. Augustus Straker Bar Association Stands Against Institutionalized Racism

2025-2026 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE   

       

Welcome to the D. Augustus Straker Bar Association!

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as President of the D. Augustus Straker Bar Association for the 2025–2026 bar year. I step into this role with deep gratitude for the trailblazers who came before us and with great optimism for the work that lies ahead.

This year, our focus is on building meaningful connections across the bench, bar, and community. We will continue to honor our mission of increasing minority representation in the legal profession, supporting educational opportunities for students, and providing a forum for our members to grow both professionally and personally.

From our Trailblazers Awards & Scholarship Dinner, where we celebrate leaders who inspire us while supporting the next generation of law students, to our Minority Bar Passage Program, which equips graduates with the tools and resources to succeed on the bar exam, to moments of fellowship like our Annual Holiday Party, the Straker Bar continues to thrive because of the commitment of our members.

I invite each of you to join me in shaping this year of impact. Whether through mentoring, volunteering, attending programs, or leading initiatives, your engagement fuels our success. Together, we will continue to honor Straker’s legacy and push forward with purpose, service, and excellence.

With gratitude,

 Dandridge Floyd

 President, D. Augustus Straker Bar Association
