DEI Initiatives and Event Planning

The Minnesota Chapter of the FBA strives to plan initiative and events that are diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Below are resources to help Chapter members incorporate DEI considerations when planning initiatives and events.

Strategic Plan for Diversity & Inclusion

The Minnesota Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is committed to maintaining a culture that respects, values, and includes all individuals in the Association, the legal profession, and the justice system, regardless of their various unique differences. To support that commitment, the Chapter developed and adopted a Strategic Plan for Diversity & Inclusion 2020 and Beyond, which sets forth the Chapter's diversity and inclusion goals in five different areas. Access the strategic plan HERE.
