2022 Inaugural Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Educational Conference

The San Diego Paralegal Association is pleased to announce its inaugural Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Educational Conference. 

The conference will provide attendees with valuable takeaways from diverse legal professionals who work in law with a specific focus on DEIB issues, including cultural competence and diversity initiatives, workplace culture, disability, neurodiversity, and other relevant topics.  We invite you to embark on or continue your journey to creating a workplace, culture, and society committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

The work of DEIB professionals never stops and each of us must join in the shift to create a world accepting of and adaptable for everyone.  This event will celebrate DEIB, educate professionals about challenges and trends associated with DEIB, and amplify the voices of those who have forged a path and set examples for others in their DEIB journey.  These professionals will share their wisdom and expertise working in or working to advance DEIB initiatives in their personal and professional lives.
