“ASAE extends its congratulations to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on her historic confirmation as the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court,” said ASAE President and CEO Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE. “In the continued fight to bring long overdue, diverse representation to the highest levels of government, Judge Jackson’s confirmation marks a pivotal moment in United States history. ASAE firmly believes the nation’s halls of justice and corridors of power are enriched by the conscious inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences that reflect who we are as Americans. Jackson’s ascension from Judge Jackson to Justice Jackson will also mean four women will simultaneously serve on the Supreme Court for the first time in its 233-year history, serving as further inspiration for young women – including young women of color – to pursue their highest aspirations.”
