”I’m incredibly pleased to be selected by FBT for participation in the LCLD Fellows Program. FBT strives and takes great effort to foster opportunities to succeed for all individuals, regardless of color, gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or disability. It’s an honor to represent the firm in these efforts.”
