During the past few weeks, our daily lives have been impacted in unexpected ways, by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Please know that the health, safety, and well-being of our members and our community are our highest concern, as we all navigate through this global health pandemic, which disproportionately affects our community. Our hearts go out to those who are on the front lines, and to all who have been affected, during this unprecedented time. 

The D. Augustus Straker Bar Association is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our members, and the community. We have postponed upcoming events, out of an abundance of caution, and in compliance with Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Orders, and the recommendations of the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Corporate Counsel Breakfast; Trailblazers Award and Scholarship Dinner; Straker Presidents' Reception; Courtroom Etiquette Seminar; and the National Bar Association Region VI Conference will be rescheduled at a later time.

Useful COVID-19 Resources and Pro Bono Opportunities are listed below, for reference. Explore our website for the latest announcements and information. Contact us at [email protected], with any questions, or to share news and announcements.

Best wishes for good health, safety and well-being.

In Service, 
Kimberley Ann Ward, Esq.
President, D. Augustus Straker Bar Association 
Deputy Director, National Bar Association Region VI
