On June 12, 2025, the Federal Bar Association Maryland Chapter gathered for a vibrant evening of networking and camaraderie at TopGolf. While members enjoyed reconnecting and sharing professional updates, the focal point of the evening was the presentation of the 2025 DiRito Award, which honors exceptional public service in support of the FBA’s mission. This year’s award was presented to longtime FBA leader Bonnie Greenberg, whose federal legal career and commitment to the FBA exemplify the spirit of the award.

The 2025 Annual Luncheon of the Federal Bar Association (FBA) Maryland Chapter brought together more than 250 distinguished guests on April 11, 2025, at a celebratory event highlighting community, judicial excellence, and a shared commitment to justice. The program honored both the future and legacy of the Maryland legal community, with heartfelt tributes to newly appointed and retiring judges, a moving remembrance of the late Judge Peter J. Messitte, and an inspiring keynote conversation with Tony West, Chief Legal Officer of Uber and former Associate Attorney General of the United States.
