Carlos Braxton Legacy Award

Carlos Braxton was a true leader in the fight to ensure equal access to justice for all, and served as a dedicated member of MLA’s Board of Directors from 2008 until he passed away in 2021 after a long battle with cancer. He recognized, engaged, and valued those within an organization whose contributions formed the necessary foundation to achieve organizational excellence and client results. He was also a dear friend to current MLA board member Lauren Lacey and her family, who established the Carlos Braxton Legacy Award in his memory. This annual cash award recognizes and celebrates MLA staff members who demonstrate a meaningful contribution to MLA’s operational effectiveness, whether impacting clients, other staff or the organization’s operations. Lauren has made a three-year pledge of $50,000 to fund the award through the Lauren Lacey Endowment Fund, and MLA is asking other leaders to join in contributing to this fund to ensure that it supports MLA staff excellence and honors Carlos’ memory in perpetuity.
