Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council

Varnum is committed to enhancing the firm's culture with an awareness, understanding and appreciation of diversity at all levels. To strengthen our commitment and gain insight to diversity issues, we established the Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council in 2007. The council provides a broader perspective and awareness to our strategic planning efforts.
