Commitment to Diversity
 The IDC Board of Directors has adopted the following statement of policy with respect to the full participation of women attorneys and lawyers of color at all levels of the organization:
"It is in the best interest of the IDC and its members to include and encourage diversity in membership, speaking positions, and overall participation in the organization. Through diversity within the IDC, we can pool our collective experiences, knowledge, and points of view to enhance our talents as individual lawyers and our effectiveness as an organization. This diversity includes both gender and race."
One way we hope to accomplish these goals at the committee level is to provide networking opportunities. Our committee is also involved with mentoring women lawyers and attorneys of color in how to become more effective lawyers and more active in the IDC through speaking and writing opportunities as well as active participation in all committees. We welcome your participation as we put together ideas and programs for this growing group.
