Our Commitment to Diversity

The LGBT Bar Association of Greater New York (LGBT Bar NY) is committed to diversity and inclusion, striving to serve and reflect the full spectrum of the LGBTQAI+ community through events, outreach, and community support.

Reflecting Our Unique Community

We are making concerted, intentional efforts to ensure that our general membership, public programming, and organizational voice fully reflect the breadth and intersectionality of New York’s legal community.

Core Commitments in Action

Representative Leadership & Governance

Authentic inclusion starts with who sits at the decision-making table. We are committed to diversifying our leadership, having elected more women, attorneys of color, and transgender practitioners to the Board of Directors to guide our organizational priorities and advocacy.

Inter-Bar Coalitions & Outreach

We actively build collaborative relationships with other diverse and affinity bar associations across New York. These partnerships help us engage attorneys across intersecting identities, broaden our membership reach, and foster mutual allyship across shared legal and civil rights struggles.

Connect & Collaborate

Are you interested in collaborating with LGBT Bar NY or partnering on joint programming with your affinity bar organization? We welcome ongoing partnerships and dialogue.
