Leo A. Deegan Inn of Court Member Invited to Join National Youth Community Outreach Project Task Force

Leo A. Deegan Inn of Court Member and Attorney Master L. Alexandra Fong (President, 2018-2019) has been invited to join the American Inns of Court Youth Community Outreach Project Task Force. This new national task force is focused on community outreach efforts for a youth audience and provides an opportunity to be involved in the American Inns of Court as a leader on a national scale, and to inspire the community outreach efforts of Inns around the country.

This new—and very important—endeavor meets one of the American Inns of Court’s strategic goals of promoting partnerships among Inns and their communities, thereby positioning the American Inns of Court as a recognized leader in promoting professionalism, civility, respect, and ethics.

The goal of the project is to create a framework that any Inn in the United States could use to partner with their local school district to deliver the same type of educational program, with the ability to customize for local and state laws. Not only would this “program-in-a-box" promote partnerships among Inns and their communities; it would also make it easier for Inns to adopt this as a community outreach initiative, thus upholding the values of the American Inns of Court as well as adding value to their members’ experience.

Ms. Fong is the only Inn member from California invited to join this task force. This task force began August 1, 2020 and is expected to be retired by July 31, 2021.
