OBA Inclusive Leader Series  | Original Program Date: February 8, 2019

There has been a lot of buzz about diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. Recruiting diverse lawyers is the first step in creating a more inclusive profession, but lawyers who are women, racially/ethnically diverse, LGBTQ, or living with disabilities are still lagging behind when it comes to retention and promotion. How can your firm or organization boost the retention of diverse talent and build a pipeline of diverse leaders? Learn how you can train senior management to be effective mentors and a continuing source of support for diverse lawyers in their organization. Join other inclusive leaders to discuss how you can interrupt biases and promote an inclusive firm culture to bolster employee engagement and improve retention at your firm.
