[blindlaw] FW: Help Support the Diversity Fellowship Program - Applications due April 29

Wed Apr 6 13:55:31 UTC 2016

Greetings, as many of you know, I have been active in the ABA for about
twenty years and I have called GP Solo my home in the ABA.  The below
described program is a tremendous opportunity for someone who wants to get
involved.  GP Solo has done an excellent job of selecting a variety of
individuals from the "traditional" minority groups, but we have not had many
lawyers with disabilities  apply.  I strongly encourage you to apply if this
is appropriate for you.  Please let me know if you are applying.  Even if
this program is not appropriate for you, please forward this  announcement
far and wide.

Best,
Scott
