Thompson Coburn associate Kayla Siam is among the first recipients of an award for outstanding achievement in a program developing diverse future leaders in the law.
Kayla was honored by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) as an inaugural Atlas Award winner for her engagement in the organization’s Pathfinders program. Pathfinders helps diverse, early-career attorneys develop professional networks through relationship-building and career development strategies.
The Atlas Award recognizes participants who showed the highest levels of engagement throughout the 7-month program. To receive the honor, Kayla committed to eight or more program activities, including in-person and virtual meetings and online trainings.
LCLD is an organization of more than 400 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who have pledged to create a diverse U.S. legal profession. They provide programs designed to attract, inspire, and nurture talent to help a new and more diverse generation of attorneys ascend to positions of leadership.
