Increased Awareness of Activities/Events

Outreach Postcard
The Department is actively engaged in fostering communication with local and specialty bar
associations throughout the state. To receive information regarding activities and events of local
and specialty bar associations, the Department created an Outreach Postcard requesting that each
organization provide the Department with updated contact information and add the Department to
their listserv. The Department’s goal is to maintain information concerning regular meetings and
signature events. The Department is committed to maintaining and regularly updating this
information which will aid in coordinating increased outreach by the Department and LSBA
officers. The Department has an email address, outreach@lsba.org, and the email address
continues to be provided to all local and specialty bar associations to achieve increased
communication.
