Other Diversity Initiatives
Godfrey & Kahn has conducted on-site diversity training and is committed to recruiting and appointing women and minorities when the firm has a vacancy, promotional opportunity, or a need to expand the workforce. Highlights of some of the firm’s other initiatives include:

• The Milwaukee Mosaic Partnerships Program is designed to build social capital within racial and ethnic diversity. Two Godfrey & Kahn shareholders are members of this new initiative that involved 228 people--114 white and 114 individuals of color--in a nine-month journey to build trust, friendship and communication. The long-term goal is to establish a sizable group of community leaders who have bridged some of the racial divide in the area and are comfortable opening their networks to a wider group.
