OBA Sexual and Gender Diversity Alliance PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

What does it mean to be authentic in the legal community? Join us for a candid conversation on navigating the legal profession as a member of an underrepresented group. Our panelists will share their own experiences in developing their professional personas, while staying true to who they are and their core sense of self. Hear about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them, and walk away with helpful insights on building a legal career that doesn’t require abandoning your individuality.
