Currently, he serves as a member of the State Bar of Georgia Board of Governors (BOG), which is the statewide governing body for over 40,000 attorneys in Georgia.

Howard is also active in the community during his recreational time as well, attending services at Holy Innocents Episcopal Church, teaching Sunday school, and coaching for the youth basketball league.
