WORLD RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN DIVERSITY IN THE LAW We are organizing an unprecedented series of events and articles creating a historic record entitled "World Recognition of Achievements in Diversity in the Law." The individuals who will be invited to be honored will include:
• Diverse General Counsel, senior in-house counsel, and law firm partners who are leading minority, women, and other diverse attorneys.
• Diverse members of the highest courts, government, and renowned business executives and other leaders who have a legal background.
• Other General Counsel, senior in-house counsel, and law firm partners who work to advance diversity although they are not themselves a member of a diverse group.
• Diverse lawyers and other leaders with a legal background in countries throughout the world.
• In memory of great pioneers of the law whose leadership created opportunities for others.
We invite your organization to co-host an event this fall in one or more cities throughout the United States and other nations. You will have two tables of ten and will nominate two Honorees who will sit at your tables. The Honorees you determine can be clients, your partners, and other dignitaries. The General Counsel of virtually every major company will be invited to participate as Honorees or guests. The audience invitations will be sent to the 100,000 in-house corporate counsel on our list, Directors, CEOs, CFOs, judges, government officials, law school deans, and media. This event will further your relations with law school deans and other influential people in support of your diversity recruiting. We can discuss additional Honorees, tables, and cities, if you wish. The date for the program will be set in consultation with you and the Honorees.
In addition, we invite you to author an article which will create great value for your firm with clients and prospective clients by focusing attention on:
• The achievements of your Honorees.
• The accomplishments of your firm regarding diversity.
• The advice on diversity your practice groups give clients in areas such as employment, financial institution customers, and others.
The article will appear with their photos in a special multi-colored electronic publication as a historic record which will be distributed to tens of thousands including the General Counsel of Fortune 500 and global corporations, and the media. Furthermore, you can separate your article from the overall publication into both electronic and print versions. Then you can send your article by itself with your cover letter and logo to as many recipients nationally and worldwide as you wish.
This distinguished series is unique because the General Counsel of virtually every major company will be invited to participate; because business leaders along with their General Counsel are recognizing the Honorees, not just the Bar honoring itself; and because this is the only time that these remarkable achievements will have been recognized together on this scale and visibility on a historic basis. The emphasis will be on achievements rather than on "how to do a diversity program," which may arise during the audience participation part of the program. This will be an opportunity to work with Deans of Law Schools which will earn firms favorable reviews for their recruiting efforts in diversity. These events will inspire others who face the challenge of their own diversity and will raise awareness nationally and globally.
Our programs are for the benefit of the community. The events and publications are co-hosted by law firms and other groups, so no one has ever been charged to attend or to receive a publication for more than 600 events. Prior speakers in our broad range of events have included the General Counsel of AIG, Amgen, Applied Materials, Avery Dennison, Bank of America, Boeing, Capital Group, Charles Schwab, Citigroup, Computer Sciences, Disney, Fidelity Investments, Ford, Freddie Mac, General Motors, GlaxoSmithKline, Honeywell, Hughes Electronics, Intel, International Paper, Lehman Brothers, Lockheed Martin, Los Angeles Times, Manulife, Marsh & McLennan, Morgan Stanley, Nestle, New York Times, Northrop Grumman, Occidental Petroleum, Oracle, Pfizer, Pitney Bowes, Prudential Insurance, Raytheon, Royal Dutch Shell, Safeway, SBC Communications, Sun Microsystems, Symbol Technologies, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, UBS, Union Bank of California, Unisys, Washington Mutual, and Wells Fargo Bank. Public officials have included the Chief Justices of California and Delaware, SEC Commissioners, members of Congress, and officials of several countries.
