The Nominating Committee is seeking active NCBA Members who want to serve on the Nassau County Bar Association Board of Directors. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 21, 2025.

The NCBA Board of Directors consists of the President, President-Elect, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, twenty-four elected Directors, as well as the Dean of the Nassau Academy of Law, Chair of the New Lawyers Committee, NCBA delegates to the NYSBA House of Delegates, and all past presidents of the Bar Association. Officers serve for one-year terms and Directors hold office for three years.

Members who wish to be nominated must be a Life, Regular, or Sustaining Member of the Association for at least three consecutive years, and an active member of a committee for at least two consecutive years. The Nominating Committee also considers each applicant’s leadership positions in the Nassau County Bar Association and other organizations, areas of practice, and the diversity of experience and background a candidate would bring to the Bar’s governing body.

Interviews with candidates will begin in early February; the Committee will nominate eight Directors and one person for each Officer position— with the exception of the President—and issue its report at least one month prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting and Election to be held on Tuesday, May 13. Officers and Directors will be sworn in at the NCBA Installation on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.

In 2024, twelve NCBA Members applied for eight Director positions and six Members applied for Secretary. Directors are encouraged to financially support the Bar Association by becoming a Sustaining Member, purchasing or selling event tickets and sponsorships, or soliciting new members and corporate sponsorships.

The Nominating Committee consists of nine Members of the Association who previously served on the Board of Directors, NCBA Immediate Past President Rosalia Baiamonte “once removed,” is Chair of the Committee and Immediate Past President Sanford Strenger serves as Vice Chair.

NCBA Members interested in applying to become a Director or Officer should forward a letter of intent, application, resume, or curriculum vitae no later than January 21 to Executive Director Elizabeth Post at epost@nassaubar.org or NCBA, 15th & West Streets, Mineola, NY 11501.
