The American Bar Association today named Alpha M. Brady as its interim executive director. Brady succeeds Jack L. Rives, who left the association last week after more than 12 years as executive director. The association is currently conducting a nationwide search for a new director. Brady joined the ABA in 1988 after a year as assistant corporation counsel with the city of Chicago. She started her ABA career as assistant director of the Commission on Opportunities for Minorities in the Profession (now the Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession). Later, she became special assistant to the president, director of policy administration, senior manager of the Governance and Public Services Group, and senior associate director and chief governance officer. Most recently, she was named deputy executive director in September 2022.
