PHILADELPHIA – Stradley Ronon is pleased to announce that litigation attorneys and members of the firm’s Diversity Committee, Cameron Redfern and Brian Seaman, presented a CLE program “Promoting Inclusivity for Queer Employees,” on June 15 at the firm. The event, which was hosted in-person and virtually, focused on making conversations surrounding queer identity and inclusivity more accessible, and provided insight into fundamental issues, including:
- Understanding language used to explain queer identities and issues.
- Learning how queer issues have evolved over the last decade.
- Identifying ways that employers and colleagues can ensure that queer employees are embraced in the workplace through action, use of language and understanding.
- Educating employers and colleagues on steps to take to advance the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community.
