Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Central Florida
The law department at Discover Financial Services challenged itself to turn the ongoing dialogue about how to retain and advance diverse talent into action. One of the ideas that came out of that challenge was Discover's pilot Diversity Mentoring Program where it partnered with its core outside counsel firms, including Burr & Forman LLP. The mentoring program provides enhanced opportunities for diverse lawyers at their core firms while ensuring that diverse lawyers, and the different perspectives they offer, are representing Discover Financial Services in its legal matters.

We invite you to join us for a panel discussion led by Discover Financial Services with panelist from Burr & Forman LLP and ACC Central Florida to hear diversity mentoring best practices learned over the past two years, the importance of mentoring for diverse attorneys, and how diversity mentoring programs can scale to organizations of all sizes including ACC Central Florida. Panelist include:
  • Lisa George, Discover Financial Services
  • David Elliott, Partner with Burr & Forman LLP
  • Sheena Thakrar, Counsel with Burr & Forman LLP
  • Maria Garton, General Counsel with Signature Aviation
Interest Area(s): Diversity and Inclusion
