I, Jackie Park, personally commit to the following:

Personal Commitment

• As a steward for change, use my diverse voice, diverse background and diverse experience to keep DLA Piper at the forefront of the movement for true and meaningful change for diversity and inclusion in the legal industry.
• As the Co-US Managing Partner of one of the world’s largest firms, use the firm’s platform and megaphone to advocate for the advancement of women and diverse lawyers.
