(July 10) – The Houston Bar Association recently announced that it received two Star of Achievement awards from the State Bar of Texas at its annual meeting in Dallas.
The HBA was recognized for expanding the Houston Volunteer Lawyers (HVL) Pro Se Assistance Clinic and for its program on diversity, equality and inclusion from the LGBTQ perspective.
The HVL clinic has been open Wednesday and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon, but beginning this month it will expand to five days a week.
On LGBTQ matters, the HBA was honored for its proactive policies and education of members through seminars on unconscious bias and workplace issues, recruitment of LGBT leadership on HBA committees and AIDS outreach programs.
