LEGAL VALUE NETWORK'S STATEMENT ON SOCIAL INJUSTICE

Recent events in the world have deeply affected and engaged many of us. These events have also highlighted the need for more support and awareness around diversity. The Legal Value Network nurtures and promotes the inclusion of everyone regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. As an organization, we seek to create an inclusive environment by connecting our members through open discussion forums. We are developing engagement forums and inclusion events through our Legacy Pillar that recognize and highlight the diversity we all bring to the table. Stay tuned for more information on these events and please feel free to reach out if you are interested in becoming a part of the movement. You can contact us at info@legalvaluenetwork.com or reach out to any of our Board members directly.
