Covington Connected Lawyers Diversity Summit

Covington Connected Lawyers Diversity Summit

September 22-23, 2022

Covington hosted its inaugural Covington Connected: Lawyers Diversity Summit in Fall 2022, bringing together 270+ racial/ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ lawyers from our offices globally.

The event empowered attendees to re-affirm existing bonds with colleagues and cultivate new ones through sessions designed for candid conversations and shared reflections on experiences at the firm. The connections fostered at the Summit move us towards our goal of creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where all colleagues have an equal opportunity to succeed. Feedback captured at the event resulted in discrete actions taken by the firm, including increased support for collaboration between affinity groups, the hiring of a new DEI team member focused solely on providing affinity group support, and updated guidance for DEI goals included in practice group business plans. We will host our next Covington Connected event in 2024.

Below are some representative photos from the Summit.
