Allen Gary Palmer was recently appointed Co-chair of The American Bar Association Family Law Section’s Diversity Committee. The Diversity Committee strives to promote diversity within Section membership and our practice. We recognize, and embrace, that the members of our legal community as well as our clientele, have evolved into a rich mosaic of people from diverse cultures, beliefs and backgrounds. As an organization, and as lawyers, we need to better understand the broader issues of diversity, as well as the cultural norms and the cultural differences of our society as a whole and how these issues impact the practice of Family Law and the families that we serve.

As committee Co-chair, Allen will continue the important work necessary to implement the ABA’s Diversity Policy , promote a sustainable diverse and inclusive environment within the ABA, throughout its membership and within the legal community at large. Allen will continue his work on the Connecticut Bar Association’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee, the CBA Family Law Section’s Diversity Committee, as well as the Firm’s Diversity Committee.
