The Stonewall Bar Association (think lawyers, not nightclubs) was honored last week by the State Bar of Georgia.
The group for legal professionals who support LGBT rights won the Best New Entry Award for voluntary bar associations. The honor was given June 3 as the state bar association's annual meeting.
“We are so proud that Stonewall Bar Association has been honored with this significant, meaningful recognition,” SBA President Brian Basinger said in a press release. “During the last year, we sought to elevate the dialogue of LGBT legal issues among the Georgia Bar throughout the state with our social receptions, community outreach events, and continuing legal education seminars in Atlanta, Macon, Athens, Augusta, and Savannah.”
