New York City Bar Association taps Kurt M. Denk as executive director of City Bar Fund

The New York City Bar Association has appointed Kurt M. Denk as the first executive director of the City Bar Fund, its nonprofit affiliate, in a newly created leadership role that works to expand the organization's reach and strengthen its programs. Denk, who has led the City Bar Justice Center since 2021, will work with the City Bar Fund's Board of Directors, program leaders and the association to guide the fund's future development. His appointment is effective immediately. The position was created in recognition of the fund's growth over several decades and the increasing size and complexity of its work, according to the association. The association said Denk will focus on fundraising, external engagement, long-term strategic planning and coordination between the fund and the NYC Bar.  The City Bar Fund operates four programs focused on legal services, international justice, diversity and inclusion, and mental health support for members of the legal community.
