About the Program
Too often, diverse employees and diversity and inclusion efforts are among the first casualties of economic downturns. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, will history repeat itself?

Our panel will share how their organizations are working to support, retain and promote diverse attorneys in these extraordinarily challenging times.
