The 124th Annual Meeting of the North Carolina Bar Association will be held on Thursday and Friday, June 23 and 24, at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem. This will mark the NCBA’s first in-person Annual Meeting since 2019. The NCBA staff have worked hard to provide members with an event worth the wait, and I encourage everyone to attend.

That afternoon, the Exhibit Hall will be open from 1-4 p.m., a Welcome Reception honoring Legal Aid of North Carolina’s 20^th Anniversary is from 4:30-5:30 p.m., and the traditional law school receptions will be held from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The Annual Meeting’s first day concludes with the Legal Legends of Color Awards Ceremony, now in its seventh year, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

On Friday, June 24, a new Annual Meeting Luncheon will bring together members to conduct the business of the Bar, including the Young Lawyers Division’s traditional “Passing of the Gavel.”

A new joint Awards Ceremony Dinner and Presidential Installation Ceremony will take place at 7 p.m., preceded by a reception.

Jon Heyl of Charlotte will complete his term as the 127th President of the NCBA and 63rd President of the North Carolina Bar Foundation on Friday. Heyl will be succeeded by Clayton Morgan of Raleigh, who will serve as President of the NCBA and NCBF in 2022-2023.
