NBTA State Coordinators

The State Coordinators addresses can be found in our on-line directory. Their testimonials can be found below by clicking the link on their names. Please contact your coordinator if you hear of any new developments regarding specialty certification that may affect the rules in your state. It is only through the efforts of each member, in tandem with the State Coordinators, that we can successfully lobby for our organization.

The President, board of directors, and home office staff join in lauding the hard work of the people listed below. Each has volunteered a tremendous amount of time and energy on behalf of the legal profession and the consumers it serves. We sincerely thank you.
