Partners Myra Selby and Charles Bush Honored with Inaugural Indiana Lawyer Diversity in Law Awards
Ice Miller is pleased to announce firm partners Myra C. Selby and Charles Bush have been honored by the Indiana Lawyer as recipients of the publication’s inaugural Diversity in Law Awards. The Diversity in Law awards program recognizes attorneys and judges across Indiana and practice types who have contributed to efforts to diversify the Hoosier legal profession through mentorship, law firm committees, bar association initiatives, educational programs, and more.
Selby has been awarded the program’s highest honor, the Diversity Trailblazer Award. This award honors an attorney or judge who has excelled in his or her commitment to diversity in the legal profession and who has inspired others to do the same. Selby was the first African-American and first woman justice on Indiana’s supreme court. Her accomplishments not only established visibility for women in the law, they also helped open doors for other women, especially women of color, so they could strive for leadership positions and other opportunities within the legal profession.
Bush is an accomplished attorney in Ice Miller’s Workplace Solutions Practice Group who began his legal career as an associate in 2013. He is a champion for diversity and is constantly looking for ways to dismantle racial and cultural barriers for the next generation. Bush understands his platform and the impact that he can make and takes that responsibility seriously by mentoring law students and younger attorneys.
“Myra and Charles are dedicated and steadfast in their efforts to help build and maintain a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion at Ice Miller and beyond, impacting the profession as a whole,” said Ice Miller Chief Managing Partner Michael Millikan. “The firm is ecstatic that these efforts have been recognized—a well-deserved honor for both.”
Diversity in Law award honorees will be celebrated at a recognition breakfast at the Indiana Roof Ballroom on October 5. Selby and Bush will also be featured in a supplement included with the October 11 issue of the Indiana Lawyer, as well as the October 13 issue of Indianapolis Business Journal.
