Covington Hosts Annual Summer Diversity Reception

June 18, 2018

Covington hosted its annual DC summer diversity reception on June 11. The firm’s lawyers and summer associates gathered to celebrate the progress the firm has made with regard to diversity and inclusion.

Anne Lee and Wade Ackerman, partners at Covington, welcomed the group and addressed the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. They emphasized the firm’s inclusive culture, noting that it allows the firm’s employees to bring their “whole selves” to work. They followed that with notes on the strong representation of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals across the firm.

Covington has hosted its annual summer diversity reception for nearly 20 years. The event is among the highlights of the firm’s summer associate program.
