7TH Annual Building Careers Symposium | Building Your Network

On October 19th Murtha Cullina sponsored and co-hosted with LCD’s Attorney Advisory Committee the 7th Annual Building Careers Symposium at the Hartford Club. The program focused on the unique challenges that multicultural and diverse attorneys face in building their practices and reputations within the legal community. The group was extremely forthright in sharing their experiences from their legal careers and provided valuable insight to help diverse and multicultural attorneys succeed and overcome some of the challenges they face as minorities in the profession. The panel engendered a meaningful discussion among the attendees, which continued during the networking reception that followed.

Panelists:

Maria Araujo Kahn, Connecticut Appellate Court

Bill Aseltyne, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Yale-New Haven Hospital; Cherie Phoenix-Sharpe, Deputy Corporation Counsel at the City of New Haven
