The Section is committed to broadening its membership base so that it fully reflects the breadth and diversity of practices and people in the environmental, energy and resources profession. In support of that goal, the Section is launching a membership subsidy program designed to facilitate the active engagement and integration of lawyers who traditionally have been under-represented in our Section membership. This new program is available to government and non-profit attorneys, as well as lawyers meeting the admission criteria for the Young Lawyers Division and minority lawyers whose employers do not pay the membership dues for the ABA or Section.
