Dispute Resolution Section Diversity Series Kickoff

We are so incredibly proud to have M. Quentin Williams (“Q”) as our guest speaker for this inaugural event. Q will lead an important discussion — Is "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" Enough? A Discussion with M. Quentin Williams and Ross Kartez. We hope to make this program interactive and inclusive. 

About the Diversity Series:

The Diversity Series Committee includes Laura Kaster, Jill Pilgrim, Iyana Titus, Stephen A. Marshall, Deborah A. Reperowitz, Rekha Rangachari, Evan Spelfogel, Alfreida Kenny, Salman Ravala, Esq., Mansi Karol, William Crosby, Noah Hanft, Susan E. Salazar, and Marilyn K Genoa. We have been hard at work putting together a unique program series with the aim of increasing diversity within the Section and within the practice of New York dispute resolution. We plan to start off with this Zoom Kickoff Event, and then follow that up with a series of in-person events (and celebrations). The Section has made a commitment towards reaching out to the community of diverse practitioners in an effort to include those practitioners in the work of the Section, to improve the Section's demographic, and to improve the dispute resolution culture in the State of New York. We look forward to seeing you there, and perhaps also at the upcoming in-person events!
