Voter Engagement Toolkit

Razor-thin margins will decide many elections this November, but confusion about recent changes to voter ID rules and a sense of malaise about the democratic process could depress voter turnout. NCAJ aims to help its members get involved this election season with the Ask Me How to Vote campaign. This campaign provides the resources members need to help educate clients, friends and family about their rights to vote and why it’s so important that they exercise them.

Why I’m an NCAJ Member

Andy Banzhoff

Immediate Past President

Kristen Dewar

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Vice President

I have been an NCATL/NCAJ member since receiving an Outstanding Advocacy award during law school from the NCATL.  For me, NCAJ was a fantastic resource for legal education and networking with other lawyers.  As I have grown in my practice, I have also grown to understand the rich history of this organization and the positive contributions that it has made and continues to make to the legal community in North Carolina.

President-elect

I joined NCAJ a decade ago because I was told it was a great resource for like-minded attorneys. But I soon learned that NCAJ is so much more. NCAJ is an incredible community of attorneys who support each other, help educate each other and through this we make a better life for our collective clients. In short, I am a much better attorney because of my involvement with NCAJ.
