Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

MBA Statement on Diversity

The Mecklenburg Bar Association (MBA) seeks to eliminate biases, barriers, and prejudices within the legal profession by creating and promoting environments that treat all individuals with respect and dignity. Diversity is an inclusive concept that encompasses, but is not limited to, age, race, color, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic status, veteran status, first-generation university or law school student status, disability, education, and marital and parental status. We acknowledge that the varied perspectives and backgrounds of our members are central to MBA’s success as an organization and are valuable to the public we serve. The MBA encourages all of its members to volunteer and seek leadership opportunities within the Bar so that our organization reflects the full diversity of our community.
