Partners David W. DeBruin and Deanne E. Maynard received the Minority Corporate Counsel Association’s Rainbowmaker Award at the MCCA’s Annual Midwestern Region Diversity Dinner on April 30, 2003.
The Rainbowmaker Award was created by the MCCA to honor exceptional lawyers whose advocacy in support of a more diverse legal profession has made the recipient a very special “rainmaker” - one who has created rainbows of opportunity for future generations of lawyers.
The award is reserved only for the most exceptional of contributions. In fact, the only recipient to date has been Mr. Thomas Gottschalk, the General Counsel of General Motors, in 2001.
Mr. DeBruin and Ms. Maynard were selected to receive this award for their leadership in preparing the amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the 65 corporations that support the view that diversity in higher education is a compelling state interest.
