The Network of Bar Leaders is pleased to join other bar associations in an effort to increase the selection of ADR professionals from historically underrepresented communities. To promote this goal, we have collaborated with the other groups in an effort to compile a directory of association members who are ADR professionals and self-identify as a member of a historically underrepresented community including but not limited to: a person of color, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as having a disability, or identify as a woman.
This directory is being built in partnership with the following bar associations: Amistad Long Island Black Bar Association, Asian American Bar Association of New York, Bar Association of Erie County, Brehon Law Society, Caribbean Attorney Network, Dominican Bar Association, Hispanic National Bar Association, New York Chapter, LGBT Bar Association of NY, Macon B. Allen Black Bar Association, Metropolitan Black Bar Association, New York County Lawyers Association, Puerto Rican Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association of New York, Westchester Bar Association, NYC Bar Association ADR Committee, and the New York State Bar Association ADR Section.
If you are a member of a partnering organization and self-identify as a member of a historically underrepresented community and wish to be included in the directory, please fill out the following survey on or before July 23, 2021. Please reach out to Eve Guillergan, eve@knowyourvisa.com if you have any questions.
