As we continue our trek through the lastest going-ons of the local women lawyer groups, we return to our exploration of the Strategic Plan and Goals of MWL that was approved last month.
Today....Strategic Goal D.
STRATEGIC GOAL D:
Build the diversity of MWL membership.Strategies:
- Ensure MWL at all levels reflects the diversity of women in the profession.
- Increase MWL’s membership among women lawyers in underdeveloped membership areas, including the corporate setting, public attorneys, academia, and those in non-traditional legal careers.
- Increase MWL’s membership among women of color.
- Evaluate MWL’s member services to ensure that we provide offerings that are of value and interest to the diversity of women in the profession (women of color, practice areas, practice types, etc).
Ensuring that proper diversity exists is an important goal for every group, as it allows different experiences and viewpoints to inform the membership, leadership, and actions of the group. MWL's goals rightly account for the many different forms of diversity that exist among women professionals: diversity in careers, diversity in ethnicity, diversity in locations, diversity in family situations. It appears this goal could be particularly furthered by women in these diverse groups letting MWL know what offerins would be of value and interest to them.
