ALFA International Diversity Committee

An attorney with over 15 years’ experience, Bethany Palmer Recht earned her JD from Northwestern University School of Law and is a partner with Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL (KMK) in Cincinnati. At the firm, Bethany Recht represents trustees of settlement trusts and funds, advising them in trust and fund administration matters. She also chairs the firm’s diversity committee and serves on ALFA International’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee’s Leaders Forum, on behalf of KMK.

ALFA International is a network of legal firms that came together to promote the delivery of outstanding legal services at reasonable prices. Committed to diversity, the network launched the Diversity & Inclusion Committee to champion diversity and inclusion among member firms. The recently launched Leaders Forum is one example of how it is doing this.

Through the forum, ALFA International keeps member firms informed on the diversity-focused activities it offers and how they can take advantage of them. These include the Practice Group Seminar Scholarship Program, which pays the registration fees of minority attorneys who wish to participate in Practice Group seminars, and the ALFA International Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards, which recognize firms at the forefront of making diversity an essential element of their practices.

The Leaders Forum also serves as a platform for member firms to engage with each other and share diversity best practices. They can also give feedback to ALFA International on the effectiveness of its diversity programs.
