Reaching the Community

Program Types & Tips

Lunch 'n' Learn the Law Programs
Short Cuts

  • Partner with a well-connected group such as United Way or United Charities. Such groups already have relationships with the right companies and can give a sense of which are the best candidates.
  • Get on the agenda of a Rotary Club or Chamber of Commerce meeting and make a presentation about the project. You’ll be able to answer corporate questions on format and focus immediately. Don’t forget to bring a flier or card with your phone number.
  • Use the ABA’s Lunch ‘n’ Learn recruitment videotape, specially produced by the Division for Public Education. "Lunch ’n’ Learn the Law (PC# 468-0055, $15) is a light-hearted 7-minute promo that effectively demonstrates the need to present Lunch ‘n’ Learn programs. It's available through the online Products Catalog.
  • After the mailing has been sent, call each company to ascertain their interest in the program. Remind the corporate contacts that the Lunch ‘n’ Learn program is cost-free.

Tips

At the Lunch 'N' Learn Session:

  1. Have handouts and resource materials available at the presentation -- Giving the audience something to take home reinforces what they have just heard. ABA brochures, videotapes and publications can be useful for many of the suggested topics and can provide relief from the talking-head syndrome.

  2. The project coordinator should see that all the necessary equipment and materials are ready and should attend each session if possible to introduce the speaker and provide general assistance.

  3. Presentations typically begin with a half-hour talk followed by a 20-minute question and answer period.

  4. Follow your presentations with a written evaluation from participants.
