AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS:
LAGBAC is proud to be affiliated with the following organizations.
The National LGBT Bar Association (formerly NLGLA)
The National LGBT Bar Association is a national association of lawyers, judges and other legal professionals, law students, activists, and affiliates lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender legal organizations. The LGBT Bar promotes justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBT community in all its diversity. The National LGBT Bar Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports the LGBT Bar, encouraging its charitable, scientific, and legal educational purposes. The LGBT Bar aspires to improve the quality of life for LGBT legal practitioners until the time that LGBT legal professionals are recognized without discrimination, stigma or negative bias. The LGBT Bar and its sister organization, the National LGBT Bar Foundation, value bar associations and the extensive and unique programs they present. Bar associations become professional homes for our communities. These home communities are most successful when they are built by those who are the best and the brightest in our legal community. The builders must have skills to execute administrative tasks efficiently, they must have good moral character to provide leadership, and they must exhibit the self-confidence to work as a small part of a much larger team.
As a matter of principle and ethics, the LGBT Bar and the NLGLF, operates within the code of professional ethics for legal practitioners. In addition, both organization board of directors and staff comports themselves within the standards of good nonprofit governance as expressed by leaders in the nonprofit association field.
Any member of LAGBAC who is interested in becoming a member of the National LGBT Bar Association is entitled to a discount. Please enter the word "regional" when prompted for a discount code when purchasing your National LGBT Bar Association membership.
