Embracing Inclusion in the Legal Profession





GCMCP Committees

The GCMCP has formed six committees to explore and undertake a broad array of programs and projects; utilize the varied talents of individuals from member firms, corporations and institutions; and provide the opportunity for members to further develop and share their creativity and leadership in the advancement of GCMCP’s goals.

Committees include:

This committee also writes and edits the quarterly GCMCP Gazette.
