We've been around since 2007 and we're here to stay. As a voluntary bar association of The Florida Bar, JABA was founded to help those in the community develop professionally. We host fundraisers and galas, award scholarships, and provide exposure, in support of those among us who aspire for more in the Jamaican-American community.
The purpose of JABA is to advance the professional interests of Jamaican-American attorneys. Our mission is to coordinate the development of educational, mentoring, and career opportunities for our members, nobly serve the Jamaican community and assist, however we can, our beloved homeland, Jamaica.
We want to see our brothers and sisters achieving their potentials. To do so, we make efforts to bring attention to the problems facing our community, present opportunities for education and mentoring, and assist our members in their career path.
The officers of the Jamaican-American Bar Association are elected each year at our General Body Election.
JABA members are encouraged to put forward nominations, run for office positions, and vote for officers of their choice that will lead JABA into greater endeavors.
