ALLY: ‘Attorneys, Learning as allies, Living as allies, and Yielding results’
Mission Statement
The ALLY Initiative of the ACBA endeavors to engage attorneys and their law firms, corporate legal departments, courts and other legal organizations to commit to increasing inclusivity, creating equitable workplaces, empowering historically marginalized and underrepresented members of the bar, and reflecting the community we serve, through active participation in various key programs and projects targeted to achieve these objectives.
Program Overview
The ALLY Initiative will offer programing and other projects, which will then allow firms and legal departments to earn an official “ACBA ALLY Certification.” The ALLY Initiative Committee is co-chaired by Laura Bunting and Regina Wilson. For more information, contact allyinitiative@acba.org.
