ILTA'S 2024 DE+I CLIMATE SURVEY REPORT
ILTANET.ORG/DEI
12
Starting with the negative sentiment received on
the survey, some specific comments exemplify the
perception that ILTA should not be focusing on DEI-
related efforts:
• not only are they irrelevant, they take the focus
away from legal technology
• They 're annoying and causing division. Treat
everyone the same. If your membership is paid,
you're a valuable member. That's it.
• Not relevant at all. I am attending for
technology trends and networking. If DEI is the
focus, then I am out.
• You are inventing a problem that doesn't need
solving. Talented people will excel, and it is
unnecessary to talk about irrelevant factors
like race, sex, sexual orientation, gender
issues, age, national origin, etc. We don't
need to be hit over the head about respect for
others who are different from us because the
vast majority of us already do that and aren't
discriminating.
