Denver Legal Marketing was recently honored as a recipient of the Inclusiveness@work awards from The Center for Legal Inclusiveness (CLI). DLM won in the businesses/corporations category.
About The Center for Legal Inclusiveness
CLI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Denver, CO. Their goal is to increase diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in the legal profession. CLI creates and supports programs that give individuals and companies the resources they need to develop inclusive workplaces that promote and sustain diversity throughout the legal profession.
Although diversity has improved in the legal profession in recent years, it takes supplemental knowledge and determination to embrace inclusiveness in the legal workplace. Diversity involves recruiting underrepresented professionals. Inclusiveness requires creating a culture where everyone has a voice and celebrating differences to achieve mutual success.
CLI focuses on the following differences:
- Age and generation
- Race, ethnicity, heritage, and national origin
- Gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation
- Abilities and disabilities
- Faith, religion, and spiritual beliefs

In addition, the Board of Directors of CLI also awarded the Judge Wiley Daniel Inclusiveness@Work Lifetime Achievement Award.
