"Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance."
Vernā Myers

ALAMN supports and promotes diversity and inclusion in the legal community by fostering an environment of awareness, equality and respect.  We capitalize on the strengths of all individuals, allowing our organizations to grow and be more successful.  We strive to recruit and retain diverse persons, believing the collective wisdom gained from all talented people creates the optimum workplace

The evidence is continually growing supporting a business case for diversity. Recruiting, retaining, and promoting diverse employees are critical to a corporation's success in this evolving marketplace. These efforts must be carefully planned, nurtured, and measured to ensure success.

One of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee’s goals is to provide our members with resources and educational opportunities to enhance diversity within our firms and organizations.  Below is not intended to be a complete list of resources, but includes many of our favorites.  If you have suggestions to add to the list, ideas on how we can serve you better, or if you would like to join the committee, please contact Carlene Holter or Terri Stewart.
