How does one begin to measure the social impact of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives in legal? And how can you get others to buy in?

When Porter Merriman, VP & Assistant GC at AutoDesk, helped spearhead her department’s new DEIB program, she knew she couldn’t force people to be fully invested. But she could acknowledge and reward those who were.

In this episode of our new Mission Possible series, Porter gives other legal leaders a map to help them charter their own DEIB programs and build diverse partnerships.

Join us as we discuss:

- Why DEIB can’t be a string of start-stop initiatives (1:54)

- Factoring DEIB in the external sourcing process (7:59)

- Advice to legal leaders starting internal DEIB programs (14:29)
