9 PART II: NEW AFFINITY NETWORKS To further recognize and support the unique needs of our diverse MoFo community, we launched two new affinity networks in 2023 – the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Affinity Network and Parents + Caregivers Affinity Network. We invite you to learn more about the two new networks below. In October 2023, MoFo launched the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Affinity Network. The MENA Affinity Network aims to further the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion by raising awareness around the unique experience of navigating the professional space as MENA attorneys and business professionals, and by actively supporting the recruitment, engagement, retention, development, and advancement of our MENA employees across the firm. The kickoff event, moderated by San Diego associate Owen Grayson Hosseinzadeh, featured Los Angeles partners Mehran Arjomand and Whitney O’Byrne. The panelists reflected on the diversity of the MENA community, their personal and professional journeys, and what launching the MENA Affinity Network means to them. The network is co-chaired by LA Litigation partners Mehran Arjomand and Whitney O’Byrne.
