               activities. The chair of the LSBA Minority Involvement Section is a member of the Diversity

               The Department supports and assists specialty bar associations. During the term of Past President
               Mark A. Cunningham, he requested that each identified specialty bar leader accept appointment to
               the Diversity Committee. Past President Cunningham’s goal was to convene at least one meeting
               per year to engage these leaders and identify areas that the organizations need additional assistance
               and support.
