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 also will explore more benefit offers

Increased Awareness of Activities/Events

Outreach Postcard
The Department is actively engaged in fostering communication with local and specialty bar
associations throughout the state. In an effort to receive information regarding activities and
events of local and specialty bar associations, the Department created an Outreach Postcard
requesting that each organization add the Department to their listserv and provide the
Department with updated contact information. 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 aide in coordinating increased outreach by the
Department and LSBA officers. The Department now has an email address, outreach@lsba.org,
