Diversity and Inclusion

The Health Law Section of the American Bar Association is committed to ensuring that the Section membership reflects the diversity of practice areas, geographic location, ethnicity and gender of the health law profession. In particular, the Section supports the ABA’s Goal III initiative “to eliminate bias and enhance diversity” and will work to achieve that goal within the Section. The Section recognizes that the continued vitality and success of the Section is dependent on a diverse membership base; therefore, its programs and activities at every level must not only be maintained without regard to race, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or sexual orientation, but also must be proactively inclusive. In addition the Committee works to encourage and support diversity of speakers, as to background and perspective, geography, type of practice, and content in all Health Law Section programming.
