President's Message
Greetings Langston Family:

It has been almost a month since the Installation Dinner and the
energy of your board is as strong this day as it was that night.  
Already, the board has met with the State Bar of California President
and the Executive Board of the Consumer Attorneys Association of
Los Angeles (CAALA) [who recently elected its first African American
President – Mr. Randy McMurray of the Cochran Firm].  These
meetings were designed to accomplish the goal of strengthening and
broadening our relationships with various bar associations.  In just a
few days, Langston will be represented at the Bench and Bar
Coalition in Sacramento, California on March 11, 2009..  The focus of
this meeting will be to ensure diversity on the judicial bench,
consistent with the agenda for this board.  Additionally, the Langston
Young Lawyers Committee is also having a networking mixer on
Thursday, March 5, 2009 at Pink Taco in the Century City mall.

During my Installation message, I asked that all Langston members
and supporters pledge one hour per month towards our
organization.  On March 7, 2009, I ask you to cash-in on your March
hour by joining me as Langston celebrates Women’s History Month
at Jim Gilliam Recreation Center located at 4000 La Brea Ave. from 11:
00am to 4:00pm.  There will be a resource fair which will include: job
opportunities and training, housing rights, and health resources.  

The Langston Board is working diligently to ensure Langston remains
connected and committed to the community.  So, I hope to have a
strong showing by our Langston members.  There will be a lot of
young African-American children, many of which have never been
exposed to one African-American attorney.  Lets introduce them to 20
attorneys; lets show them the importance of working hard, staying in
school, and returning back to the community.  Since this event will
last for 5 hours, please find one hour to come out and make a
difference.  I look forward to seeing you at one of Langston’s March
events!!!   

Truly Yours,
Jamon R. Hicks, Esq.
