Keenan's new role with the NAACP follows many other instances of breaking through gender barriers. She was the first woman from the District of Columbia to be elected to the position of President of the National Bar Association (NBA). Throughout the NBA's 86 years in existence, Keenan is only the eighth female to serve as president of the organization. As the oldest and largest bar association of lawyers of color in the world, the NBA boasts a network of more than 50,000 lawyers, judges, and law students. In her role as the 62nd President of the NBA, the organization took on the task of educating voters throughout the nation on new voting laws.

Keenan also served as the president of the second largest jurisdictional bar in the United States, the District of Columbia Bar. Once again, she was only the eighth female to hold the honored position. In 2007, Keenan was named ''Woman Lawyer of the Year'' by the Woman's Bar Association. Her work has been acknowledged by numerous other organizations, including the American Bar Association, which named her a ''Legal Rebel'' in 2010. She was honored as a Washington, D.C. Super Lawyer from 2007 to 2010 and the Washingtonian Magazine saluted her as a Top Lawyer in 2009. Her community service has also earned her many awards from organizations such as the Louisiana and Virginia State Conferences of the NAACP. This coming June, Keenan will receive the Wiley A. Branton Award for Civil Rights Under Law from the Washington Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.


Immediately before taking on the role of General Counsel for the NAACP, Keenan was the principal of the Keenan firm in Washington, D.C., which specialized in medical malpractice litigation, mediation and arbitration, litigation consulting, and public speaking. Keenan, who graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law, is also a member of the Senior Adjunct Faculty of George Washington University Law Center. She has appeared as a commentator for Fox News and on the first season of Fox's television show, ''Power of Attorney.'' She also appeared on ''Dayside,'' a legal program on Fox. CSPAN, Court TV, and radio programs have also featured Keenan.
