The Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession is thrilled to share this Summer 2024 edition of The Innovator with you!
The Innovator features the important work of the Association, its Sections, Division, and Forums, and the Commission as well as highlighting its leadership. Each feature shows the commitment to advancing racial and ethnic diversity in the legal profession leading to meaningful progress.
The Commission extends its thanks to each of you for the individual and collective vision as well as your efforts to implement necessary change for diversity, equity, and inclusion within the Association and profession overall.
As we look ahead, the Commission welcomes you to renew your commitment to our mission and Goal III with your engagement and advocacy for our members, profession, and the communities we serve.
If you know of an organization or individual advancing racial and ethnic diversity in the legal profession, I invite you to submit this information. We would love to feature them in the Winter 2024 edition of The Innovator.
The Innovator writers and contributors also want to acknowledge our Chair, Colleen Lamarre, for her energy and dedication in leading the Commission. We thank her for her collaboration, commitment and vision.
I hope you enjoy this edition. Thank you.
