Four years ago, Roderick A. Palmore urged GCs to take a stand for diversity, and 110 of them responded by signing a Call to Action, a document that committed them to making progress in their own legal departments and demanding the same of their outside law firms.

This time, he called them to the Arizona desert for a private and frank assessment of just how much action has come from the Call to Action. All 110 signatories to the Call to Action were invited, along with the managing partners of 150 big law firms. A total of 150 attended — 50 GCs and 100 firm managing partners.
