Diversity and Inclusion
About the Committee
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee addresses the issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion through a range of programs, projects, and opportunities. As a committee, support one another personally and professionally. It is a safe space for everyone.
We highlight the excellent work done by our committee members and ensure that our members have exposure to prospective clients with their involvement in our committee.
The centerpiece of DRI's diversity efforts continues to be the Diversity for Success Seminar and Corporate Expo held annually in June. The Diversity for Success Seminar is an innovative program geared toward diverse attorneys, in-house counsel and law
firm management. The Corporate Expo is a program where diverse talent can pitch and interview for new business with corporate counsel from all over the country.
The committee has three subcommittees that address unique issues in this space: Women of Color, Lawyer’s with Disabilities, and LGBTQ. These committees are looking for ideas and members to help move the needle in the legal community.
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee continues to push the envelope by bringing cutting-edge and thought-provoking ideas to the diversity discussion. There are many opportunities within our committee to help make DRI a thought leader on diversity. If
you have not already done so, we invite you to join the Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
