Posted by: Barry Kolar on Aug 1, 2023

The American Bar Association (ABA) named Alpha M. Brady as the association’s new executive director last month. Brady, the first person of color to lead the ABA, has been serving as interim executive director since the departure of former Executive Director Jack Rives in March. She joined the ABA staff in 1988 and rose through the ranks at the association before being named deputy executive director in 2022. “During our search, we evaluated many outstanding candidates," Search Committee Chair Palmer Gene Vance II said. "Alpha Brady, with her long history within the ABA and her abundant talents as a leader, stood out as clearly the best.”
