The Hon. Joseph A. Greenaway, Jr., Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and attorney Lawrence S. Lustberg received the AFBNJ Brennan awards for 2015.

During installation ceremonies, Sabrina G. Comizzoli, Esq, was installed as president, along with a 2017 slate of officers, and new trustees.
Recipients of the Barry Scholarship also were named and are listed here.
