Message from the President

I am thrilled to lead this new 2023-2024 year as your WLAM President.

This year we are focused on Shaping Connections.  Our membership is unique with diversity in careers, level of experience, location in the State, passions and commitments.  Each one of us is a resource.  Our organization’s strength lies in our ability to connect our resources for personal and professional benefit.

Here are some ways we plan to shape connections this year:

  • We will get to know each other better with in-person state board meetings held throughout the State.  Click on the “Events” tab above and browse our calendar to find a state board meeting near you.
  • We are working to encourage supportive relationships through meaningful discussions like the WLAMom committee monthly Zoom.  We hope to build a more structured mentorship platform that includes taking advantage of our esteemed past presidents and the WLAM Leadership Class members.  
  • We hope to increase the diversity of our people by partnering with the many other state bar affiliate group and to find new ways to engage in our community through our Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
  • We will continue to gain relevancy to state leaders through our legislative advocacy, like supporting the Equal Pay Act through our Gender Equity Committee and our judicial recommendations through our Candidate Rating & Endorsement Committee. 
  • We hope to grow our regional impact in new areas of the State.
  • We are reaching more attorneys than ever with our new ventures: the WLAM Journal and the WLAM podcast.
  • We will continue to promote our members referring among themselves with our “Find a Lawyer” tab above.

Please join us in achieving these goals by attending State and regional events (please click on the “Events” tab above and browse our calendar), by participating with a committee  (click on the “Leadership” tab above to browse our committees then join here: Committee Preference Form), and by aligning with our mission to secure the full and equal participation of women in the legal profession in furtherance of a just society.
