Diversity, Equity & Inclusion CommitteeThe WDC Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee is dedicated to promoting a culture that welcomes differences, promotes equality, and engenders respect. We continue to recruit, mentor, and promote talented lawyers and businesspeople with diverse backgrounds and experiences because we recognize that a diverse team makes us stronger and more effective in providing Wisconsin with proper representation and an equitable civil justice system. Our members do not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, and are instead dedicated to helping and educating all who inhabit the communities we have the privilege of serving. The Committee meets on a bi-monthly basis to discuss and educate one another on the diversity, equity & inclusion issues affecting the legal profession and the steps we can take to promote diversity, equity & inclusion efforts in our respective workplaces.
