Diversity is gaining importance with clients While achieving a higher level of diversity at a law firm, or any other organization, is an honorable goal in itself, it also increasingly makes good business sense. A recent survey and article from DiversityInc magazine helped document the value clients attach to diversity. The companies selected for the DiversityInc 2007 Top 50 Companies for Diversity® list include a large number of Nixon Peabody clients. In fact, of the top 10 companies selected, nine are Nixon Peabody clients. From the total list, 32 of the 50 selected companies are clients. Some of the many clients include Xerox Corporation, Bank of America, Verizon Communications, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Eastman Kodak, and AT&T. According to DiversityInc, participation in the survey has increased “a Top 10 members of 100 percent increase over the last three years and a 24 percent increase over last year.” Establishing each year’s list is a rigorous exercise. the DiversityInc list “Companies earn their spots based on their responses to more than 200 The following is a listing of the top 10 com- detailed questions on human capital, CEO commitment, corporate com- panies chosen for the Top 50 Companies for munications and supplier diversity,” according to the magazine. Diversity® list. Of the top 10, only one is not a Nixon Peabody client. This year, 317 companies, all with at least 1,000 employees, competed The list, in order of ranking, includes: for inclusion. The most heavily weighted questions are those involving Bank of America CEO commitment. The survey also focused on GLBT diversity. In fact, all companies without domestic partner benefits that extend to same-sex The Pepsi Bottling Group couples were automatically excluded. AT&T The Coca-Cola Company Interestingly, according to DiversityInc, the companies on the list consis- tently do exceptionally well financially, too. “For the fourth year in a row, Ford Motor Company the Diversity Inc Top 50 companies, expressed as a stock index, beat the Verizon Communications Standard & Poor’s 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Xerox Corporation Nasdaq on a 10-, five- and one-year basis, documenting the connection Consolidated Edison between superior diversity management and excellent corporate gover- Company of New York nance, which produces a consistent return on equity for investors,” the JPMorgan Chase article noted. PepsiCo In day-to-day business, Nixon Peabody attorneys are also noticing increased client interest in the firm’s diversity. Recently, Erika Duthiers, an associate in the Rochester office, participated in a business develop- ment meeting with a Fortune 100 company in the San Francisco Bay Area, where diversity was specifically identified as a top priority. “The assistant general counsel stated, in no uncertain terms, that she and her company insist on hiring law firms that understand the business imperative of diversity. She commented that, while mentoring relationships were valuable, the true test of 3 whether a law firm ‘gets it’ is whether the firm staffs its cases with diverse teams of lawyers. The assistant general counsel said that the company, in the past, has precluded certain law firms from even pitching for work because the number of diverse attorneys within the firm itself was insuffi- cient,” Erika said. Additionally, clients are proactively sponsoring events to enhance diversity efforts. Rosalyn Mitchell, counsel in the San Francisco office, was invited to attend the Wal-Mart Legal Department’s Second Annual Diversity Conference on Monday and Tuesday, June 4 and June 5, 2007. Nixon Peabody was invited to participate because the firm is considered one of Wal-Mart’s top law firms, according to seminar materials. The event was held at the John Q. Hammons Convention Center, adjacent to the Embassy Suites hotel, in Rogers, Arkansas. One of the speak- ers at the event was Cathy Fleming, who was invited by Wal-Mart in her capacity as president of the National Association of Women Lawyers. Cathy recently joined Nixon Peabody as a partner in the New York City office. Finally, in his regular column for the New York Law Journal on May 10, Philip Berkowitz, a part- ner in the New York City office, tackled the subject of diversity, which he defined as going beyond gender and ethnicity to include life experiences. His column acknowledged the increasing impor- tance of diversity and, in fact, that it is indispensable for highly successful business. Philip’s column also noted that many corporations are demanding that “their relationship attorneys include people of color, women, and other minorities; and law firms have responded by dedicating themselves to this goal.” Did you know? When you open the client screening and new matter forms, a new question concerning diver- sity appears on both forms.

  • Guide to Council Camps National Parks California
    GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.
