Those interested in running for an elected office in the Tennessee Bar Association or as a TBA Delegate in the American Bar Association have until Feb. 15 to qualify for the 2023 ballot. To qualify, candidates must file a nominating petition with the executive director of the TBA by emailing barED@tnbar.org, or via mail at 3310 West End Avenue, Suite 590, Nashville, 37203. Because of limitations brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, scanned signatures can be collected and submitted electronically.

Those interested in a seat on the TBA House of Delegates must file a declaration of candidacy that includes their name, principal place of law practice, district of interest and contact information. This can be submitted with the executive director of the TBA via email at barED@tnbar.org. The TBA’s website has more information on the election process and a list of available positions.
