First, we all want to sincerely thank both Shain and Leah for their years of dedication and service to the organization. Building on that foundation, we are more committed than ever to our efforts to support our organization and its vital work for our community.
These changes are part of a careful and essential initiative to refine our mission with the organization's core purposes and improve our overall effectiveness. With this realignment, we are drawing on our forward-thinking and adaptive Board, dedicated to strengthening our organization in furtherance of our mission.
We remain fully dedicated to maintaining and delivering our critical services, including:
Weekly Legal Clinic:
- Our legal clinic at the LGBT Center on 13th Street will continue to provide essential legal support to those who need it most.
Law Notes:
- We are committed to providing law notes to keep our members informed about important legal matters.
Judiciary Committee:
- Our judiciary committee will uphold its vital advocacy work for justice and equality within our community.
Member Events:
- Our popular member events, such as networking and CLEs, will continue to strengthen community engagement and connections. We are also looking forward to celebrating the work of our Foundation at our Annual Gala on May 20, 2025, at Hall des Lumières.
We want to highlight that our organization is continuing to operate effectively, and this realignment is designed to position us for future success, allowing us to grow and expand our services and offerings. We are genuinely excited about the potential for growth and improvement that comes with this renewed focus on our mission and the critical services we provide. Our commitment to our mission and the community we serve remains steadfast.
