Honoring Our Legacy, Advancing Our Future

One Bar, One Voice, One Vision for Justice

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President in the 102nd year of the South Hampton Roads Bar Association. 

This year, my hope is that we move forward together—with unity, resilience, and an intentional commitment to excellence and success. We will uplift one another, support the growth of our distinguished members, and extend our impact into the communities we serve with compassion, honor, and integrity.

I invite each of you to engage fully, share your talents, and take pride in the work we will accomplish together as we focus on guiding students, nurturing younger lawyers, and building meaningful connections with organizations and institutions across our region.

At its heart, our Association is a family. Together, we will continue to thrive, champion justice, and leave a lasting legacy that betters lives and inspires generations—with the distinction, fortitude, integrity, and respect that define us both individually and collectively.

Respectfully,
Nikeva Bailey
President
