Las Vegas Chapter of the National Bar Association
The Las Vegas Chapter of the National Bar Association (LVNBA) is an active affiliate of the National Bar Association, which was formally organized in 1925. The National Bar Association is the oldest and largest association of predominantly African-American lawyers, judges, law professors, and other legal professionals.
The Las Vegas Chapter of the National Bar Association (LVNBA) was originally incorporated in 1981 and reincorporated in 2005. Over the years, the LVNBA has grown from a small group of fourteen trailblazing attorneys and judges to a large and vibrant organization.
The National Bar Association (National Bar) was founded in 1925 when there were fewer than 1,000 African-American lawyers in the nation, and less than 120 belonged to the (National Bar). By 1945, there were nearly 250 members representing 25% of the African-American members of the bar. Over the past 75 years, the National Bar has grown enormously in size and influence.
When the LVNBA was founded in 1981, there were fewer than 20 African-American attorneys in state of Nevada. Currently in Nevada, circa 125-150 African-American attorneys comprise approximately 1% of the membership of the State Bar of Nevada. Since its founding, the LVNBA has grown in size and influence and LVNBA members own their own law firms, are partners and associates at small, medium, and large size firms throughout Clark County, are students and law professors at community colleges and the University of Nevada, pursue justice for clients as prosecutors and public defenders, serve in the Nevada Legislature, are members of the Nevada judiciary, and represent cities, counties, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Department of Justice.

Since its inception, the Las Vegas Chapter has taken great strides in membership growth to over 100 men in 2004. These men believe in brotherhood as the staple of the organization. While the organization is predominantly black men, membership is open to everyone who meets specific criteria.
Starting at the elementary level and continuing through adulthood, the 100 Black Men of Las Vegas reaches the youth in Southern Nevada through a variety of programs, which include Mentoring, Education, Health & Wellness, Economic Empowerment, and Leadership Development. From contracting with professional tutoring organizations to holding community meetings to inform and discuss issues relating to the educational environment in Southern Nevada. The 100 Black Men of Las Vegas continues to work with others in the Southern Nevada community to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities through our Health & Wellness program.
The 100 Black Men of Las Vegas will provide the community with mentoring efforts designed to provide added opportunities to elementary, junior high, high school and college students in need. We will achieve this by developing programs focused on improving the education, health and character of our student participants with the collaboration and support of parents, teachers, affiliates, and corporate partners. Our vision is to develop a best in class, measurable mentoring program and strategy that will result in significant increase in academic success, graduation rate, and self-esteem of our student participants along with improved community involvement and corporate fellowship.
Mentoring is the cornerstone of what the organization brings to the community—guiding youth in life experiences, fostering a positive self-perception and self-program, encouraging excellence in education, and pursuing positive life-long goals. Each national and international chapter is engaged in innovative mentoring programs that serve the unique needs of their local community.

Black Community Organizations Network, Las Vegas
The Black Community Organizations Network, commonly known as BCON, is composed of African-American community volunteers. These volunteers plan the presentation of the annual baccalaureate ceremony to honor African-American high school graduates. The ceremony is usually held in conjunction with the Clark County School District commencement ceremonies.
The mission of BCON is to bridge and unify community support in celebrating the successes and accomplishments of high school African- American students. Each year, a baccalaureate celebration, such as this, is conducted in tribute to the vast accomplishments that our students have achieved during their educational pursuit; in spite of the many challenges and obstacles they may have faced along the way. Through the efforts of BCON, our students are afforded the opportunity to foster a significant bond with the African-American community in understanding the true meaning of this educational celebration.
The colors of BCON; RED, BLACK, and GREEN, were not arbitrarily selected. These colors were selected to represent the pride of our African-American heritage, culture, and community spirit. The color red…represents the blood that flows through our veins that unite us as a people; the color black…represents the nobility of our forefathers and our heritage; and the color green…represents the rich and bountiful land of our origin, the continent of Africa.
Although our primary purpose for us being here today is to celebrate and acknowledge the many accomplishments of our graduating seniors; which we salute today, we must also be mindful and share the knowledge and understanding of the struggles of our ancestry and the history behind our coming together.

Blacks In Technology Las Vegas
Blacks In Technolgy Las Vegas exists to Increase the representation and participation of Black people in tech through education, mentorship, and access.
It is a fairly common occurrence that Black workers in the technology industry find themselves the only Black person in the room or the only Black person on their team. Black people are underrepresented in every technology-related career demographic, from tech startup founders seeking venture capital to core information technology workers seeking pay equity.
Our goal and mission is to “stomp the divide” between Black tech workers and to fundamentally influence and effect change on an industry that has historically not sought parity with respect to Black workers. Our intent is to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and most importantly our global members.

Casey Xavier
At the age of 18, Casey decided to run for the city council of his hometown in Louisiana. He was elected at the age of 20, becoming the youngest elected official in Louisiana history. By unanimous vote of his fellow council members, he was appointed mayor pro-tempore of the city at the same age. And at age 21, his state political party elected him as the party’s vice-chair of elected officials.
Casey is proud to have recovered millions of dollars for his clients. Because in America’s civil justice system, money is the only justice possible. And trial by jury for money is a constitutional right. When people are harmed by others, Casey believes the injured deserve to be compensated, for the full value of what has been taken away from them and for what they have been left with.
Casey has refined his trials skills through the Mark Lanier Trial Academy Master Class, Rick Friedman’s Ethos Advocacy Institute, and Trial Lawyers University. Casey obtained his bachelor’s degree from University of Louisiana, Lafayette and later pursued graduate studies in international affairs at University of California, San Diego. He obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from University of Nevada, Las Vegas – William S. Boyd School of Law in 2020. In his first year of law school – only about 3 months in – Casey won Boyd Law School’s annual client counseling competition, beating out the whole law school. Casey has continued winning at the law ever since. And he’s prepared to win for you too.
