Winston’s Women’s Leadership Initiative Receives MCCA’s 2016 Innovator Award
July 18, 2016
Winston & Strawn was selected to receive the Minority Corporate Counsel Association’s (MCCA) 2016 George B. Vashon Innovator Award in recognition of our revamped Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI).
This highly competitive award is presented to in-house legal departments, law firms, and bar associations that have led the way with innovative best practices to assist diverse attorneys in the legal profession. The firm’s win is attributed to our new parental leave policy, provision of leadership training for women partners, creation of an Advancement Subcommittee, development of robust WLI programming, and partnerships with outside diversity organizations.
Winston was recognized on July 18 during the MCAA’s Creating Pathways to Diversity Conference at the Renaissance Washington Hotel. Partner Paula Hinton, chair of Winston’s WLI, accepted the award on behalf of the firm.
