EPOC Mission Statement
CAMP 1L Internship Program

Promoting diversity in our Bar Association is not just a priority – it is a key element of our leadership culture and has become a core value of our organization. Our Equal Professional Opportunity Committee (EPOC) oversees the diversity and inclusion initiatives we advance at the DCBA.  The Committee also presents the Hon. Clarence C. Morrison Award for promoting diversity to a deserving person or entity each year at our Annual Membership Meeting.

In 2004, EPOC was instrumental in creating the Capital Area Managing Partners (CAMP) Diversity Initiative.  Through this vibrant program, local law firms commit to support a minority 1L student with a paid internship in order to expose students to the practice of law and encourage them to consider Central PA to begin their legal career. The DCBA also strives to promote diversity on its Board of Directors and in its nominations to the Pennsylvania Bar Association House of Delegates for Zone 3.
