Her leadership in this area spurred the firm to form subcommittees on improving diversity that have already resulted in positive changes and propelled the planning of Blank Rome’s first Diversity Summit in 2022. Chang is also a member of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; Marketing; Pro Bono; and Los Angeles Attorney Recruiting and Retention committees. Under her leadership, the office achieved 100% participation in pro bono activities and increased pro bono service hours threefold.
