We’re pleased to welcome the Reverend Bethany Johnson-Javois, President and CEO of @deaconessfound, as our keynote speaker at #NLADA26. As president and CEO, she leads efforts to address the structural drivers of health inequity and strengthen community-centered power.
For over 40 years, Joy Johnson's dedication to the tenant rights movement has transformed Virginia's housing landscape, giving residents better access to counsel when landlords engage in unjust practices. NLADA is overjoyed to recognize her as this year’s Mary Ellen Hamilton Honoree at #NLADA26.
Johnson will be honored on Friday, November 6, 2026, at this year’s Awards Luncheon at our Annual Conference. Learn more about her and all of our honorees here: nlada.org/ac26/awards
