Leadership and Diversity Committee
This committee makes recommendations to the Civil Policy Group on leadership and
diversity issues, such
as supporting and developing minority leadership in legal services programs,
developing new leadership in legal
services programs, involving non-directors in legal services community leadership roles
and assuring that diverse staff are recruited and retained throughout the legal
services community. The Leadership and Diversity Committee works on developing leadership strategies,
which focus on
developing leadership skills within the
legal services community, with a particular emphasis on diversity issues.
Projects include developing a series of
training events that help leaders address issues currently facing legal services programs,
including issues of diversity, both within program staff and the client community and issues
that arise as programs undergo internal changes.
