Meyer Suozzi Sponsors NYSBA Annual 'Celebrating Diversity in the Bar' Reception

On January 23, 2012, Meyer Suozzi demonstrated its commitment to achieving greater diversity and inclusion in the legal profession by becoming a Bronze Sponsor of the Celebrating Diversity in the Bar reception. The event was co-sponsored by the New York State Bar Association’s Committee on Diversity and Inclusion and its Committee on Membership, as well as various minority and ethnic bar associations.

The objectives of the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion are to promote and advance the full and equal participation of attorneys of color and other diverse attorneys in the New York State Bar Association and in all sectors and at every level of the legal profession through research, education, fostering involvement and leadership development in NYSBA and other professional activities, and to promote knowledge of and respect for the profession in communities that historically have been excluded from the practice of law.
