Diversity Committee
The Business Law Section remains firmly committed to the goal of encouraging
greater diversity among its members. Toward this end, the Committee has
undertaken a Diversity Initiative, pursuant to which Executive Committee members
have agreed to participate in the NYSBA’s “Meet the Sections” events at New York
law schools. These events were scheduled to take place at New York Law School
(October 18); Cardozo Law School (November 2), SUNY Buffalo School of Law
(November 7), Pace Law School (November 15), and Syracuse Law School (November
17). The objective of these events is to promote student membership in the
Section, especially among women and minority students, and the development of
our Mentoring program for third year law students and newly admitted
attorneys.
Additionally, managing partners of New York law firms have been asked to
identify minority associates at their firms whose practice areas complement the
agendas and programming of our respective Committees.
