President’s Installation Gala 2026

The LBA’s 26th President’s Installation Gala was a celebration to remember—bringing together members, sponsors, and leaders for an unforgettable evening honoring our legacy and welcoming a new chapter. Hosted at the InterContinental Miami, the night began with an immersive cocktail experience featuring our Legacy Hall, where guests explored the history of the Association and the leaders who have shaped it since 1971.

The formal program marked a meaningful transition, as Immediate Past President Anthony R. Gomez officially passed the torch to our 26th President, Rafael Cabrera, followed by the swearing-in of the Executive Board and Board of Directors, and a special recognition of all Past Presidents.

From there, the celebration continued in true LBA fashion—with vibrant energy, thoughtful details, and memorable surprises, including late-night treats and a lively after-party that brought the community together well into the night. A powerful reflection of our mission, the Gala was not only a tribute to where we’ve been, but a celebration of everything we continue to build—together.
