ABOUT
“Dear Alex,” a new column created by the ABA Business Law Section’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, is the reader’s chance to ask all about DE&I anonymously. Think of it like the old “Dear Abby” columns, but for DE&I. In each column, the Dear Alex team will answer a question related to DE&I. These questions can be interpersonal, like how to respectfully address a colleague who is in the process of gender transition, or even professional, like how to convince senior partners at your firm that investing in DE&I can be a competitive advantage. If you’ve ever had a DE&I question that you have been afraid or otherwise unable to ask, now is your chance to ask “Alex.” Questions can be submitted at the form linked here.
