TDLA honored with DRI Diversity Award! DRI’s Annual Professional Achievement and Service Awards recognize and celebrate outstanding performance by state, local, and national defense organizations (SLDOs/NDOs), DRI law firms, and individual members. The awards honor those whose professional contributions and achievements have made a meaningful impact on the defense bar and civil justice system, as well as those whose commitment to community and public service has positively impacted society at large.

The DRI #Diversity Award recognizes a State, Local, or National Defense Organization (SLDO/NDO) that has achieved significant success in demonstrating a commitment to diversity within and beyond its organization and has worked to broaden perspectives among its members and leaders.

In nominating TDLA for this prestigious award, DRI State Representative Hannah Lowe noted: “TDLA has demonstrated a clear and sustained commitment to diversity and inclusion within its membership and leadership.”

We are honored to have TDLA’s ongoing commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive defense bar recognized by DRI, particularly during our 60th Anniversary year.

The 2026 DRI Annual Meeting will be held October 21–23, 2026, in Washington, D.C., where the award winners will be recognized.
