CHARTING YOUR OWN COURSE (CYOC) CONFERENCE Weil regularly sends a group of Black attorneys to the Charting Your Own Course Conference in Orlando, Florida. Two Black Associate/Counsel Advisory Board members led a group of 20 Black associates attending the CYOC conference in December. The group welcomed the opportunity to connect with other Weil Black attorneys in person, as well as to make connections within the broader legal profession. ATTORNEY OF COLOR MENTORING GROUPS The AsianAttorneys@Weil, Black Attorney Affinity Group, WeilLatinx, and WeilPride started small virtual mentoring groups in 2020, and they have continued to meet through 2022 to provide a sense of community across offices. U.S. AAPI PARTNERS 5.7% 6.2% 2015 2022 U.S. BLACK PARTNERS 2.0% 3.8% 2015 2022 U.S. LATINX PARTNERS 3.9% 5.3% 2015 2022 The AsianAttorneys@Weil affinity group started small groups to help Asian attorneys stay connected during the pandemic. It was a great way to keep in touch to hear what other attorneys were doing at home and in their professional lives. When the increase in violence against Asians started happening, it was a great way to support each other and to talk about any fears we might have. Justina Chen Corporate associate Silicon Valley
