Diversity Committee-Sponsored Events

As part of our commitment to educate our lawyers and staff on the importance of the unique differences in each of us, the firm hosted several events. 

Celebrating the Year of the Rat. The firm held its annual Lunar New Year celebration on Jan. 27. This year’s celebratory lunch featured a presentation by the Tai Chi Chuan Center, a New York-based nonprofit that promotes the benefits of tai chi through public awareness, training and community service.

Celebrating Intergenerational Diversity. Mary Abbajay, best-selling author of “Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss” and the president of Careerstone Group LLC, an organizational and leadership development consultancy, facilitated a discussion on intergenerational diversity at Kramer Levin. Her Nov. 12, 2019, discussion, “Generation Matters: Celebrating Generational Differences,” raised awareness of the distinctive perspectives, motivations and expectations of each generation in the workplace.
