               Mission
               The mission of the Outreach Committee is to develop and implement sustained outreach to local
               and specialty bars throughout the state and to increase awareness of the member services and
               benefits provided by the LSBA. The committee shall encourage member participation in all aspects
               of the LSBA and shall facilitate such participation through the use of technology and any other
               feasible alternatives.

               A resolution was presented to the House of Delegates on January 16, 2016, and the House of
               Delegates approved the Outreach Committee as a LSBA standing committee.

               The Outreach Committee is working with the LSBA Editorial Board for the Louisiana Bar Journal
               to promote member benefits by interviewing different LSBA members that utilize the benefits.
               The first article on hotel benefits was published in the Louisiana Bar Journal August/September
               2017. This remains a goal of the committee.

               Member Benefits
               The Department has assumed the role of  prescreening member benefit offers and making
               recommendations to the Board of Governors regarding whether the LSBA should offer the benefits
               to members.  The Department will evaluate all member benefits offered by the LSBA to access
               members’ usage and satisfaction.  The Department will also explore more benefit offers that will
               assist members that have more specialized needs.

               The current Member Benefit publication is made available at LSBA programs and events.
