Specialty Bars Subcommittee
The Department provides assistance and support to specialty bar associations with diverse
memberships. 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.
President Robert A. “Bob” Kutcher has continued this effort.
A Specialty Bars subcommittee meeting is scheduled on August 23, 2019 at the Ritz Carlton
New Orleans in conjunction with the LSBA Board of Governors meeting.
