TMBA Statement Updated January 2026
The Thurgood Marshall Bar Association (TMBA) was founded in 2012. TMBA is a contemporary bar association committed to connecting, supporting, and increasing the Black legal community in Orange County. TMBA strives to promote diversity and inclusion, professional improvement, and the advancement of justice through positive community involvement and excellence in the practice of law for the Black legal community, allies, and the Orange County legal community at large. Everyone is welcome to join and encouraged to support TMBA.
TMBA’s leadership team includes fifteen dedicated Board Members and Officers who volunteer their time, resources, and talents to support TMBA’s mission, while at the same time leading active careers in various sectors of our legal community. We are sincerely grateful for our 2026 servant leaders who include: Melonie Jordan, Precious Odum, Sakeenah Redmond, Flavia Santos Lloyd, Denetta Scott, Cinnamon Carr, David Griffth, Honieh Udenka, Tremayne Wilson, past President Moriah Denton, and TMBA Foundation representative, Lance Cotton.
In 2026, our organization is committed to celebrating, honoring, and displaying “Resilience Redefined: Compassion. Justice. Grace. Service.” which is our theme for the year. The organization has served—and will continue to serve—as a platform for professional growth by offering networking opportunities, coaching, mentorship, continuing education, and career placement support.
We are energized by our leadership and look forward to continuing and building upon the remarkable legacy of this distinguished association.
