As bar associations across the country face declining numbers and challenges recruiting new members, leaders of the Connecticut Bar Association say membership has remained steady, at more than 9,000 members, and the organization's fund balance is the largest it has been in more than a decade.
In contrast, the American Bar Association has been shrinking in recent years, including losing about 12% of its members in the past decade. The bar overhauled its membership structure in May, simplifying dues and reducing costs in hopes of stemming the tide. As of 2018, the ABA had 424,000 members, of which less than 200,000 were dues-paying members.
