Please join the Mile High Chapter Education Committee at our monthly luncheon webinar on Thursday, January 21, 2021. Sara Scott of The Center for Legal Inclusiveness will present on "Double Down on Diversity, Equity Inclusion (DEI) Strategies."  Sara will discuss how achieving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in your workplace is a process for creating change through education, collaboration and vigilance. Integrating DEI into organizational systems and processes is important for all organizations, and true DEI cannot be created without a better understanding of the definitions and work required to create an inclusive workplace. 

Session Objectives:

• Have a better understanding of DEI terminology and examples as to how these inequities come to fruition in everyday life.
• Gain a better understanding of racial inequities and how you, as an individual and your organization, can address these inequities.
• Have tools to engage in practicing the steps to identify conscious and unconscious biases and strategies to mitigate the effect of these biases.
• The attendees will leave the training with strategies to bring back to their law firms to assist in operationalizing their DEI strategies

Nearly fifteen years ago Sara Scott started her career representing foster children in Washington D.C., at the Children’s Law Center (CLC). At CLC she supervised attorneys, managed dozens of cases, and watched as the foster care system disproportionately impacted black families while creating a further disenfranchised community.

After CLC, Sara honed her oral advocacy skills as the founding partner of Zamani & Scott LLP – a full-service family law firm where she most enjoyed her assisted reproductive technology practice and serving same sex families. In 2005, Sara and her family moved home to Denver to be near family and Sara’s terminally ill father. Sara’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to start a family law practice in Denver. She became active in the community as one of the founding board members of Lawyer’s for Equal Justice and was appointed as a Uniform Law Commission.

Sara has always had a strong passion for Diversity and Inclusivity. She was one of the first students to earn her bachelor’s degree in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity from Stanford University, where she also won the Community Building Award. Sara has followed Diversity and Inclusivity throughout the duration of her career and has received her Certificate in Diversity and Inclusivity from Cornell University. Sara’s passion, enthusiasm and drive make her the perfect fit for the Center for Legal Inclusiveness.
