DSBA Policy on Diversity & Inclusion
The Delaware State Bar Association (“DSBA”) is committed to diversity in its membership,
officers, staff, Executive Committee, Sections and Committees and their respective leaders. The
DSBA believes that diversity is an inclusive concept that encompasses gender, gender identity,
race, color, ethnic origin, cultural background, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
geographic location, economic status, marital status, age, disability, and many other
characteristics.
The DSBA believes (i) that a diversity in backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences strengthens
our organization and the entire legal profession and (ii) in promoting increased diversity among
members of the Judiciary, legal professionals, and institutions providing legal education.
The DSBA recognizes that achieving diversity in the legal profession requires continued effort and
commitment.
DSBA leaders, including Executive Committee members, Section chairs, and Committee chairs
are expected to promote diversity and inclusion within the DSBA as well as in the legal profession.
