Welcome to The 2027 Virginia Black History Month Gala! Next year's gala is scheduled for Saturday, 27 February 2027 from 6 pm to 9 pm
Welcome to The 2027 Virginia Black History Month Gala!
This year's gala is scheduled for Saturday, 27 February 2027, from 6 pm to 9 pm at the beautiful Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.
The 2027 Black History theme, “From Black Print Culture to Digital Blackness,” explores the duality of print and digital technologies as tools of empowerment and as instruments that can reinforce systemic racial biases. Black print culture has evolved from street-corner papers to independent bookmaking to global digital networks. As artificial intelligence and other technologies evolve, studying the intersection of print media, race, and the digital world becomes increasingly vital.

Since its organization and revitalization in February 1989, the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. Richmond Chapter has been dedicated to uniting accountants, accounting students, and business professionals who share a commitment to excellence and community advancement in Richmond, VA. Rooted in the principle of "Lifting As We Climb," NABA Richmond serves as a vital community resource for black professionals navigating the accounting and finance industries. The chapter brings together professional members and student chapters across Virginia, fostering cooperative relationships among peers while advancing the interests of current and prospective minority accounting professionals. NABA Richmond distinguishes itself through its focus on personal enrichment and community service, offering social activities and volunteer opportunities that strengthen both individual members and the broader Richmond community. The organization recognizes that professional success extends beyond individual achievement—it encompasses building leaders who shape the future of the accounting and finance professions while supporting the next generation of minority students entering these fields. By combining professional development with genuine community connection, NABA Richmond creates an environment where members can grow their careers while contributing meaningfully to their profession and community. The chapter's comprehensive approach to member support includes mentorship programs, networking events, and collaborative partnerships that reflect its core mission of representing and advancing the interests of black professionals in accounting and related business fields throughout the Richmond area.
Founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1942, the Old Dominion Bar Association emerged from a pivotal moment of civil rights advocacy when attorney Frederic Charles Carter refused to be segregated in the Virginia Supreme Court law library. What began as a response to discrimination has evolved into one of the nation's premier African-American bar associations, dedicated to the mission of being "Virginia's Advocates for Equal Justice." For over 80 years, ODBA has served as a vital community for African-American attorneys and lawyers of color, providing continuity of leadership and support on issues of particular importance to underrepresented populations in the legal profession. The organization's legacy includes significant achievements in judicial appointments, with ODBA members working diligently to ensure African-American lawyers received consideration for judgeships throughout Virginia. Today, the association continues addressing the civil rights, disenfranchisement, and criminal justice issues that inspired its founders, recognizing that the work of equal justice remains incomplete. ODBA's membership represents a diverse community of legal professionals committed to professional growth, scholarship, and meaningful activism. The organization actively engages its members through annual conferences, networking events, and collaborative programming with other affinity bar associations. By joining ODBA, attorneys become part of a historic movement rooted in dignity, professional excellence, and the unwavering pursuit of equal justice for all Virginians.
Founded in 1984 by a dedicated group of approximately 10-12 members, the Northern Virginia Black Attorneys Association has grown into a cornerstone organization for the legal community in Fairfax, VA and throughout Northern Virginia. What began as a mutual support network has evolved into a powerful voice advocating for African American attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students facing unique professional challenges. NOVABAA's founding members recognized the need for solidarity and shared experience in a legal landscape with limited opportunities for African American participation in bar associations and the judiciary. Today, many of those pioneering members serve or have served with distinction in the judiciary, demonstrating the organization's lasting impact on the profession. NOVABAA welcomes members of all races who share a commitment to strengthening the Northern Virginia legal community and advancing the interests of African American legal professionals. The organization strives to be a leader on social, cultural, political, and legal issues affecting the community it serves. Through regular events, professional development opportunities, and collaborative initiatives, NOVABAA builds meaningful relationships among legal professionals while advocating zealously for African Americans navigating Northern Virginia's court system and legal landscape. The association's 40-year history reflects a steadfast commitment to diversity, inclusion, and professional excellence in service to the Fairfax and Northern Virginia communities.
