NAMWOLF has identified several critical areas in which to raise awareness of diversity and to position the organization as a catalyst for change. These focused efforts are called Strategic Initiatives and address key industries and influential people who have the power to take regulatory or leadership action for the increased utilization of M/WBE law firms.
