We are excited to serve as co-chairs of the Hillsborough County Bar Association ’ s Diversity , Equity , and Inclusion ( DEI ) Committee . Our committee is dedicated to advancing the mission of the HCBA by fostering a legal profession that is inclusive , equitable , and representative of the community we serve .
We believe an inclusive and equitable legal profession is essential to the administration of justice . It enhances the quality of legal services , promotes innovation , and strengthens our community . Recent efforts to limit DEI programming in the State of Florida and across the country have created significant challenges . While these external pressures exist , the HCBA remains steadfast in its commitment to diversity , equity , and inclusion .
Our committee will continue to advocate for and implement initiatives that promote inclusivity , equity , and belonging within the HCBA . We are committed to working collaboratively with our colleagues to create a legal environment where everyone feels valued , respected , and has equal opportunities to succeed .
