Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
What diversity, equity and inclusion goals did the Section include in the 2022-2023 work plan, how did you approach these goals, and what was the result?
We continued to focus on including diverse presenters at our CLEs to ensure that the speaking opportunities are equitably available. Specifically, all four of our CLEs included multiple diverse presenters, including three of the four panels which featured at least fifty present diverse presenters.
Going forward, we hope to continue to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion into our CLE content as well as our Section governance.
Other Section Accomplishments
As this bar year was the first that had us unencumbered by COVID-era restrictions, we used it as an opportunity to experiment with different methods of delivering our CLE content. Specifically, it seems like hybrid options work well because there are participants who want to attend in person, but the hybrid format allows us to include guests who would not otherwise be able to attend, and also provides more options for including panelists from around the country. We had successful social events to accompany some of our programming, and this seemed to also be a driver for in person attendance and provide networking opportunities for our membership.
We also continued our tradition of partnering with other organizations to reach a broader audience as the Section co-hosted a CLE with the Attorney General’s Office and the Minnesota Farmer’s Union.
