Diversity in IP Law
 

Join the Diversity in IP Law Committee Today!   

The Committee’s work this year will embrace the AIPLA Strategic Plan goals relating to education, advocacy, growth, and services.  To facilitate these endeavors, the Diversity in IP Law Committee will foster dynamic program creation to enhance networking and participation by minority lawyers.  We believe that it is an essential mission of the Committee to broaden the membership base of AIPLA with a talented and diverse base of IP lawyers.  In turn, our goal is to infuse minority lawyers with sufficient tools and knowledge to further enrich our practices and, ultimately, our clients.

We have an active group of attorneys who participate in the TSC Liaison Program {LINK}.  There are still slots available for diverse TSC Liaisons with several substantive committees.
