Special Committee for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
The purpose of the ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources' (SEER) Special Committee for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is to enhance and promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the Section and within the environmental, energy, and resources bar overall. Aligned with ABA's Goal III, SEER understands that a diverse Section and EER bar – both made up of people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and younger attorneys, as well as attorneys from the government, non-profit, academia, and solo-practice sectors – add great value to the legal profession. 20 SEER members serve on this committee, helping develop and implement projects related to DEIB.
Beginnings and Belonging Reception
Each annual SEER spring and fall conference begins with a reception that highlights SEER's diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work. Information about upcoming SEER conferences is available here.
