The How & Why of DE&I: Associations [Video]

Are you a bar leader looking to foster an environment of inclusion? Looking to diversify your bar association leadership roster? While studies demonstrate that diverse leadership offers an enriched experience for membership through offering a broad perspective and increased sense of belonging, many bar associations continue to struggle with retaining historically underrepresented attorneys as leaders.

During this session we’ll discuss how to develop and implement meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion plans within your bar association, with an emphasis on inclusion. We’ll also discuss how to promote DE&I, engage in critical dialogue, and create inclusive leadership.
