The State Bar of Georgia’s Committee to Promote Inclusion in the Profession invites nominations for the 2026 Commitment to Equality Awards. The Commitment to Equality Awards, which include the Avarita L. Hanson One to Watch Award (for young lawyers) and the Randolph Thrower Lifetime Achievement Award, recognize the efforts of lawyers and legal employers devoted to providing opportunities that foster a more diverse legal profession and clientele for members of underrepresented groups in Georgia. These awards are presented to lawyers that have, throughout their careers, demonstrated an outstanding commitment to improving the profession and supporting diversity in the legal profession and have made great efforts to serve clients from underrepresented groups consistent with the core of our mission.

The deadline for submitting a nomination is Friday, Aug. 7, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
