Building a Better Future
The NYSBA Annual Dinner was the flagship event for the association from 1878 to 1995. In 2020, NYSBA honored its rich history by going back to the future and restoring the proud tradition of a dinner as the featured event of Annual Meeting. As we return to our in-person Annual Meeting format, we will once again be hosting a Presidential Gala on Friday January 20, 2023 at the Rainbow Room in NYC with live entertainment and an auction facilitated by the New York Bar Foundation. The spotlight of this black-tie event will be the presentation of the Gold Medal Award, the highest honor bestowed by the association, to Sherrilyn Ifill, Senior Fellow at the Ford Foundation.
Gold Medal Award Recipient
Sherrilyn Ifill is a civil rights lawyer and scholar. She most recently stepped down after 10 years in leadership as the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), the nation’s premier civil rights law organization fighting for racial justice and equality. She currently serves as a Senior Fellow at the Ford Foundation.
