A Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators

Please join us for a Diversity & Inclusion Panel Discussion

In recent years, the legal industry has received much scrutiny regarding the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the profession. In 2020, following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others, organizations began to speak out about inequalities and many vowed to make changes within their organizations.  Please join us for a panel discussion with an esteemed group of panelists focused on recruiting and most importantly retaining diverse talent in the legal field.  You will leave with a better understanding of issues faced regarding this topic along with actionable items you can implement in your organization.  For this meeting we are combining forces with the Houston Association of Legal Recruiting Administrators (HALRA) to tackle this issue that impacts our organizations.  Please submit questions during registration to help guide the conversation.
