NATHANIEL R. HARPER AWARD
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
NOMINATIONS DUE DATE: Friday, April 5, 2013 Download the Nomination Form Here.
The Nathaniel R. Harper Award is a trailblazer award that seeks to recognize those individuals or organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to changing the face of the Bar in Kentucky by promoting full and equal participation in the legal profession through the encouragement and inclusion of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community and/or other underrepresented groups.
The Award is named for Nathaniel R. Harper, one of the first African‐Americans to be admitted to practice law in Kentucky. Because African‐Americans were excluded from law schools in the Commonwealth at the time of Harper’s admission, he established the Harper Law School in his law office, where he trained and helped produce several African‐American lawyers. It is Harper’s pioneering spirit and sense of responsibility to pave the way for others that the Award seeks to honor.
Completed nomination materials must be received no later than Friday, April 5, 2013. Materials must be mailed to Tiffany Bowman, Bluegrass Cellular, Inc., 2902 Ring Road, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 or sent as an email attachment to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
The 2013 Nathaniel R. Harper Award recipient will be honored at the Membership Luncheon held during the KBA Convention on Friday, June 21, 2013.
