While diversity and inclusiveness are not new concepts to the Connecticut Bar Association, newly elected officers of the tightly knit group are lauding recent strides the organization has made, including electing four women officers out of the total seven this year, with women of color assuming the presidential and vice presidential roles.
Like new Connecticut Bar President Karen DeMeola, new vice president, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ndidi Moses, said she believes inclusiveness has made the Nutmeg State’s bar stronger than ever by making all members feel like they’re part of an increasingly broad family. After being recruited to the bar while attending a barbecue, Moses served as treasurer of the association in 2010, and recalled that diversity and inclusion were topics members were discussing back then.
