Our Gives Back program ran a holiday drive December 2017 to deliver gifts to Immigrant and refugee children represented by Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), a non-profit dedicated to providing legal services to immigrant children. Staff contributed gifts from a wish list provided by KIND, and WR delivered items such as gift cards, diapers, children’s toys, and winter apparel. Read more about this holiday drive HERE.
Celebrate Women’s History Month with WR Immigration as we continue our “My Immigration Story” campaign, featuring the exceptional journey of Senior Associate Josune Aguirre Gamez. Last year, WR Immigration began our “My Immigration Story” campaign to showcase the exceptional accomplishments of our team members. In honor of Women’s History Month this year, we’re continuing to highlight the inspiring immigration journeys of our WR team, with a special focus on the outstanding contributions of Senior Associate Josune Aguirre Gamez. The video below is an initiative led by WR Immigration’s DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) Committee. We strive to create a firm that is diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible for everyone at WR Immigration. Our work in the immigration field allows us to help people from all around the world. As leaders, we understand that our role extends beyond our crucial work, and we’ve built a firm that prioritizes opportunity for all.
WR Immigration is proud to share that partners Naveen Rahman Bhora and Richard Yemm have been again named 2022 Co-Chairs for WR Immigration’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Committee, a program that celebrates differences, builds inclusivity, and lends support to our employees and communities. Under their leadership, the DEIA committee has helped to foster a safe and healthy environment for their peers while also spreading the important message of diversity and inclusion. “I cannot find the words to say ‘thank you’ to partners Naveen and Rich for their leadership and hard work on behalf of the DEIA committee culminating thus far in our recognition by Diversity for Social Impact. Thank you for fulfilling this critical role and for helping celebrate the strength, courage and depth we have in our firm. I am very proud and most grateful to you and our entire DEIA leadership team.” Bernie Wolfsdorf, Managing Partner, WR Immigration
