Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin issued the following announcement on Feb. 23.
Niki T. Ingram, senior counsel at Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin, has been named the first-ever Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer of the Philadelphia Bar Foundation. The position was created following the nationwide demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustices over the summer of 2020.
“Racism is prevalent in all civil legal matters, from housing to unemployment to immigration, and the work of civil legal aid agencies is critical in the fight for racial justice,” said Jessica R. Hilburn-Holmes, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Bar Foundation. “The Bar Foundation is committed to this fight and to doing the work in order to promote a better, more equitable Philadelphia community. The addition of a DE&I Officer is a first step toward that goal – and we couldn’t find a more competent nor passionate person to lead this charge than Niki Ingram.”
