The Houston Bar Association has 26 committees and three ancillary organizations that serve the profession and the community and people of Harris County, Texas.
Committees plan and implement many of the HBA’s programs. Committee appointments are made at the beginning of each bar year, but some committees remain open throughout the bar year.
For more information about HBA committees, contact HBA Associate Executive Director Ashley Gagnon Steininger at ashleyg@hba.org or 346-471-3431.
