Thank You for Joining Us!

 

Join colleagues and members of local affinity bar associations at the Taste of Diversity strolling reception—an evening dedicated to celebrating the rich diversity of our legal community. Enjoy a festive atmosphere filled with vibrant conversation, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and the camaraderie of friends old and new. The evening will also honor outstanding service through the presentation of the Leon Hubbard Community Service Award and the Michael K. Lee Memorial Award.

Sponsored by the Oakland County Bar Association Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, Taste of Diversity was established in 2015 to celebrate multiculturalism within the profession and to foster collaboration among area affinity bars in promoting greater awareness and advocacy for diversity in the legal field.
