Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Speakers Bureau
The subcommittee is required to meet a minimum of once per year and maintain a minimum of two co-chairs and two members.
The subcommittee works to build a repository of diverse speakers on not only diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics, but also substantive law topics.
The subcommittee recommends diversity programs and initiatives that can be integrated throughout the following: all LSBA programming, LSBA continuing legal education seminars, and programming offered by local and specialty bar associations. (Name change approved March 28, 2023).
