Diversity and Inclusion Certification Program
The OCBA is doing its first ever Diversity and Inclusion Certification Program. The goal of the program is to have participants more informed about issues surrounding diversity and inclusion and their own personal implicit biases.
Each session will feature a moderator and panel of individuals both inside and outside the legal profession, including leaders from each represented community and the broader Central Florida community.
The program will include six (6) courses, which include:
- Sex Discrimination Issues – March 10, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
- Black Community Discrimination & Implicit Bias Issues – April 13, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
- Asian American Community Discrimination & Implicit Bias Issues – April 20, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
- Hispanic Community Discrimination & Implicit Bias Issues – May 4, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
- Differently-Abled Community Discrimination Issues – May 17, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
- LGBTQ+ Community Discrimination & Implicit Bias Issues – May 31, 2023 from 9am – Noon at the OCBA Center
Participants must complete five (5) of the six (6) courses in order to earn the OCBA Certificate in Diversity & Inclusion Awareness.
Individuals who complete the certification program will be able to display a certification seal/logo on their law firm website as an indicator that they are dedicated to acceptance, allyship, and personal growth in order to better serve a broad range of diverse clientele.
