CONFERENCE INFORMATION

An Invitation from the

2014 TMCP COMMITTEE CHAIRS

Program Background & Mission The Texas Minority Counsel Program was created in 1993 with the mission of increasing opportunities for minority and women attorneys who provide legal services to corporate and government clients, and to expose those organizations to the legal talent found in the minority and woman community. Since its inception, the TMCP has been instrumental in enhancing opportunities for diverse attorneys.

On behalf of the Office of Minority Affairs and the 2014 Steering Committee, we invite you and your organization to the 22nd Annual Texas Minority Counsel Program (“TMCP”) in Austin, Texas on September 3-5, 2014. Come find out why the TMCP is the premier client development, networking, and CLE event for attorneys in Texas!

Conference Goals • Present a CLE program designed for diverse lawyers and corporate/government counsel.

The TMCP’s unique format not only provides valuable CLE credit but also gives attendees an opportunity to participate in informational interviews to discuss outside counsel opportunities. The speed networking lunch, golf outing, spa retreat, dine-arounds, and receptions all maximize the opportunity for attorneys to connect and develop future professional relationships.

• Provide informational interviewing opportunities for diverse lawyers to meet with corporations and government agencies.

• Offer an informal environment for attendees to network.

We encourage you to show your support of the TMCP and its goal of increased diversity and inclusion in the legal profession by sponsoring this year’s program.

Sponsors receive valuable exposure and opportunities for participation at the conference. In addition, if your organization is a corporation or government agency in need of diverse outside counsel, you may use the enclosed form to indicate your desire to conduct informational interviews during the conference.
