The State Bar of Michigan Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee and Equal Access Initiative will co-host the second annual Brunch for Bars on Sunday, April 17, at the Fort Shelby Double Tree Hotel in Detroit.
The brunch, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m, occurs the morning after the Wolverine Bar Association’s 54th Annual Barristers Ball.
It offers an opportunity for leaders of local and affinity bar associations to network, share information, and discuss collaboration opportunities.
Special guest ABA President Paulette Brown will join to provide an update on the Diversity and Inclusion 360 Commission that was initiated to formulate methods, policy, standards and practices to best advance diversity and inclusion over the next ten years.
There is no cost to attend the event, but space is limited and registration is first-come first-serve.
To register for brunch, e-mail Michelle Erskine at merskine@mail.michbar.org.
