Corporate Diversity Models - Elimination of Bias CLE

Title:	MEET YOUR COUNTERPART: Diversity Models
Date:	December 18, 2007
Start Time:	5:00 PM PST
End Time:	7:00 PM PST
Description:	The program will act as a follow up to the SDCBA/Ethnic Relations & Diversity Committee's October 16 presentation by MCCA President Veta Richardson. The goal of the presentation is to provide roundtable attendees a roadmap for their own diversity programs, so they can hopefully avoid "reinventing the wheel" when developing their own programs. Since these programs receive limited funding, the more businesses can learn from model guides and from one another, the more they can effectively use their funding to promote diversity. The presentation will therefore start with the MCCA's law department national best practices guide. We will then use the MCCA guide as a springboard for a law department diversity discussion led by Sempra and Rick Engineering that broadly looks at the national best practice guide, refines those practices to take into account regional issues that San Diego companies face, and then further refines those practices by looking at the issues large (Sempra) and small (Rick Engineering) companies face. Ron Garnett will provide a non-legal perspective from the vendor's association standpoint because outreach that works in non-legal professions is also important (and sometimes overlooked) in law department diversity programs.
