On December 8, the leadership of several affinity-minority bars met to discuss promoting and supporting the presence of underrepresented groups in the Minnesota legal community. The event recognized common goals we have among our diverse organizations. Do not be surprised to see more co-sponsored events and collaboration among the affinity/minority bars in the future. Special thanks to Alene Sussman and Adine Momoh for organizing!
