A Letter from ABA CEO Allison Hill

"It’s more important than ever that ABA keeps fighting against consolidation in publishing, anti-competitive practices in the marketplace, legislation that favors corporations over small business, and government agencies that lose sight of their mission and allow their training and support for small businesses to become marketing opportunities for these businesses’ biggest competitor," said ABA CEO Allison Hill.

ABA Board Announces Proposed Bylaws Changes

The ABA Board of Directors is responsible for four ABA hires: the wealth manager, the auditor, the CEO, and the general counsel. Every three years they review each vendor as part of their checks and balance process. In 2023, the ABA Board hired a new general counsel as part of that review and, as part of the onboarding with the new general counsel, counsel reviewed all of ABA’s legal docs such as the association’s letter of incorporation, IRS Forms 1024 application and determination letter, and the ABA’s Bylaws.
