For Immediate Release
Sara Reisdorf Elected to the Board of the
Minnesota Lavender Bar Association
Minneapolis, MN July 19, 2011 – – Sara Reisdorf was elected to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Lavender Bar Association. MLBA builds community between members through quality educational programs, networking opportunities, and social events. MLBA proudly supports similarly-focused student groups at all of Minnesota’s law schools, as well as efforts to assure that Minnesota is a community where legal professionals can thrive, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status.
The Minnesota Lavender Bar Association (MLBA) was founded in 1996 as a special project of the OutFront Minnesota Legal Program, in response to the limited opportunities for GLBTI lawyers and law students to network, learn together, and address homophobia within the profession. MLBA was reorganized in 1999 as an independent, 501(c)(6), organization. Since that time, MLBA has become the primary sponsor of the Regional Lavender Law conference for local GLBTI attorneys and students, which started in 1991, and has become an affiliate of NLGLA. MLBA is a recognized and respected affiliate of the Minnesota State Bar Association, and of the Hennepin and Ramsey County Bar Associations, and of the National LGBT Bar Association.
