Leadership Resource Portals
The Leadership Resource Portals are a one-stop shop for elected leaders of the D.C. Bar Communities Steering Committee and Communities volunteers. Find the resources and information you need to plan, collaborate on, and conduct Communities programming. Many of the portals require a login. If you have questions, contact the D.C. Bar Communities Office at communities@dcbar.org or call 202-626-3463.
