A desire to give back to his community drives Frank Francis’ bar association efforts
Profiles in Leadership
Frank Francis was not even sure why he walked into the Brooklyn Bar Association for the first time. It wasn’t that long ago, probably in 2014, and likely as part of continuing legal education that lawyers are required to maintain.
Immediately, Francis was drawn to the organization and met with the BBA’s Young Lawyers Committee. That helped him to get to know other young lawyers and encouraged him to get involved. He explained that he was always drawn to community service and organizations that helped others.
“All throughout my life I have been involved with different groups and organizations, whether that was in college, in high school,” Francis said. “I remember being a part of community cleanups, and one time I went to a youth conference in high school. It was something important to my parents, something they would always talk about, and it just sort of stuck.”
In his five years working with the BBA, Francis has helped organize CLE events and participated in community service outings, and he chaired the Young Lawyers Committee.
