How Legal Organizations are Using Inclusion Nudges and Embedding Bias Interrupters
ACC Colorado’s Diversity & Professional Development’s Committee is co-sponsoring, Interrupting Implicit Bias by Design, with the CBA and CWBA.
Unconscious bias is the biggest challenge to advancing diversity in the legal profession. While training on unconscious bias is an essential first step, it is not enough to interrupt or eliminate the hidden barriers diverse lawyers experience that cause higher attrition rates. Cutting-edge efforts by legal organizations involve embedding bias-interrupters into processes and procedures. Participate in this session to learn how to nudge any process in your organization to make it more bias proof. You will also learn how legal organizations are implementing inclusion nudges to make diversity sustainable and how to overcome potential hurdles you could face in implementing inclusion nudges in your organization.
Two complimentary general credits offered.
Speaker: Kathleen Nalty is a nationally-recognized expert in strategies for creating cultures of inclusion to retain and advance diverse talent. She specializes in helping organizations identify systemic issues that cause higher attrition rates for people in already underrepresented groups.

The Government is more worried than ever about emerging and foundational technologies falling into the wrong hands. This presentation will provide “just the facts” on what attorneys need to know about export controls and this rapidly changing landscape.
