Inclusive Professionalism Facilitators Training

The DEI Speakers Bureau Subcommittee continues to recruit attorneys to become experienced
facilitators to become members of the Facilitator Training Team. This team of facilitators train
other LSBA members across the state that have an interest in presenting diversity, equity, and
inclusion presentations.

To become a member of the Facilitation Team, attorneys participate in a Train the
Trainer workshop. This training is conducted by senior facilitation team members. Senior
facilitation team members are volunteer attorneys that have presented at least five presentations
for the LSBA.

The DEI Speakers Bureau Subcommittee has prepared continuing legal education presentations
on a range of pertinent topics in the legal profession. The presentations have been approved for
one (1) hour of professionalism CLE credit. The CLE presentations are as follows:

Equity and Diversity

Generational Differences

Changes in the Legal Profession
