Member Resource Groups (MRGs)

Supporting LMA's Diverse Membership

LMA's Member Resource Groups (MRGs) address the varying needs of our diverse membership and support LMA's mission to advance our legal marketing and business development community and profession. Taking a holistic approach, we realize that innovative ideas come from creating a place for all members to feel valued and heard, and most importantly, where they can bring their whole selves to the table.

To create that space, LMA created MRGs comprised of members who want to further build an inclusive culture, and through participation, offer opportunities to connect with each other and deepen our sense of LMA community. The mission of LMA's MRGs is to:

Provide a safe forum for discussion and exploration of the group’s theme
Enhance leadership and coping skills on sensitive topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
Encourage professional development opportunities among LMA minority communities

MRGs meet every other month via Zoom. Participation is limited to MRG members.
