On Oct. 6, the California Minority Counsel Program presented its Drucilla Stender Ramey Law Firm Award to Crowell & Moring LLP. The award honors the CMCP majority-owned law firm member that has demonstrated the strongest commitment to diversity based on minority attorneys in partnership, leadership and other important roles within the firm and community service efforts. The Drucilla Stender Ramey Law Firm Award was presented at CMCP’s 22nd Annual Business Conference at the Marriot Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. “We are extremely grateful to be honored with this award and for the recognition of our work in promoting attorneys of all backgrounds,” said M. Kay Martin, a partner in Crowell & Moring’s San Francisco office and co-chair of the firm’s Diversity Council. “Crowell & Moring reflects the rich fabric of diversity that runs throughout California and recognizes that legal experience does not always look the same and come from the same environment. We believe that our ability to embrace the differences and uniqueness of each attorney and staff member makes us a stronger firm overall.” —David McAfee
