One of the most pressing diversity topics is the issue of how to increase the pool of candidates of color who will constitute tomorrow's profession - what's referred to as the "pipeline." In this regard, diversity experts have developed a genre of pro bono/diversity initiatives known as "pipeline projects."

ACCA's Pipeline Kit supplies the ideas and contacts you need to get started. It even includes a ready-made PowerPoint presentation that you can use to gain buy-in from your company and a videotape to help inspire the youth and volunteers you wish to draw into your project. And if that isn't enough, the kit also includes contact information about how to reach great projects already underway in your community, run by such experienced and well-respected organizers as Street Law.

Special recognition for making ACCA's Pipeline Kit possible goes to DuPont's Senior Vice President and General Counsel Stacey J. Mobley, Associate General Counsel and Chief Litigation Counsel (and member of ACCA's board of directors) Thomas L. Sager, and Assistant General Counsel and Chief Administrative Counsel Hinton J. ("Luke") Lucas.
