The Ayscue Professionalism Award is presented each year at the Law & Society Luncheon.
The Mecklenburg Bar Foundation's Ayscue Professionalism Award is presented each year to a present or former member(s) of the 26th Judicial District Bar or Mecklenburg Bar Association. The award may be given to more than one Bar member in a year for outstanding work done together on a specific project or if the work they do is inextricably linked. Its purpose is to recognize exemplary professionalism, as broadly defined.
Criteria may include one or more of the following:
• Outstanding service through or on behalf of the 26th Judicial District Bar, the Mecklenburg Bar Association or the Mecklenburg Bar Foundation for the benefit of the legal community or the community at large.
• Substantial and significant service to the community, to the Bar, or to the justice system, whether on the basis of lifetime contributions or a specific project.
• Embodiment of the traits to which all attorneys should aspire: high ethical standards, model conduct, unquestioned integrity, and consistent competence.
The deadline to submit a nomination is October 10, 2024 at 5 p.m. Nominations may be submitted to ayscueaward@meckbar.org.
