Covington Hosts 2019 Diversity Summit

Covington Hosts 2019 Diversity Summit

August 29, 2019

Covington hosted its annual Diversity Summit for prospective summer associates. The summit provides an opportunity to introduce a diverse pool of candidates to Covington lawyers who represent the firm’s many areas of practice and who are also members of our affinity groups.

Our U.S. offices came together for the event in DC, where the summit opened with welcoming remarks from Diversity Committee co-chair Mike Imbroscio and firm chair Tim Hester. The highlight of the event was an associate panel on firm life. Associates Lindsey Barnhart, Jamin Koo, David Sneed, and Alicia Zhang participated in the panel discussion that was moderated by Brianne Bharkhda, a partner and a member of the firm’s Standing Committee on Diversity and Inclusion. Our lawyers discussed the firm's commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as the many factors that have shaped their personal experiences at Covington.

The 2019 events demonstrated Covington’s ongoing commitment to recruiting a diverse pool of talented summer associates. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the coming years.
