The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy joined the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession and other host organizations in sponsoring this event on hiring and retaining women of color. This is not simply an issue for women of color. With increasing globalization, it makes good business sense to craft strategies to ensure that women of color thrive. Our panelists will discussed concrete steps that can be taken to ensure that women of color succeed.

This program builds on the Commission's report, "Visible Invisibility: Women of Color in Law Firms." The report can be accessed here.
