and creating new diversity and inclusion initiatives, among them, an NCBA Scholarship and Pre-Law Society for
college students who are interested in a career in law. “The tapestry of our association becomes richer because of diversity. Diversity encompasses not only gender, race and sexual orientation, but also ethnic and national origin, religion, geographic location, work experience, economic background, age and disability, Baiamonte said. As diversity increases, so does our strength and capability as a bar association. Through increased diversity, our organization can more effectively address societal and member needs through a collection of varied perspectives, experiences, knowledge and understanding.” Baiamonte has extensive experience dealing with a full range of matrimonial issues and substantial appellate advocacy experience, having prosecuted, and defended dozens of notable appeals involving complex matrimonial and family law issues. Her practice also extends to Collaborative Interdisciplinary Divorce. She will serve a one-year term as President of the NCBA.
