Presidents Reception

 

2025 Presidents Reception

Thursday, June 26
6:00 - 7:30 P.M.
The Westin D.C. Downtown

The Presidents Reception is the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center’s premier annual event that celebrates the incoming President of the D.C. Bar. Funds raised advance critical legal services for District residents who face legal challenges without the means to afford an attorney. Join leaders from across the legal community for an open-bar cocktail reception, networking opportunities, and brief celebratory remarks.

This year’s Presidents Reception honors Sadina Montani, the incoming D.C. Bar President, and takes place just before the D.C. Bar’s Celebration of Leadership Awards Dinner and Annual Meeting.

Honor Sadina, support the Pro Bono Center, and . . .
