Our Network

Building a Network

To be successful, every attorney must build a network. Joining a women's bar can jumpstart this process. The opportunities for business referrals and access to resources for substantive legal and practical advice and possibilities for leadership positions and visibility in the profession are all present in women's bar associations.

Forming a National Network

The NCWBA gathers three times a year to exchange ideas and foster connections among the leadership of women's bar associations throughout the nation, as well as abroad.

Among the most popular events has been the Women's Bar Summit, where representatives of state and local women's bar associations of all sizes share ideas for improving organizational structure, programming, and effectiveness.

The NCWBA also provides a free electronic "women's bar leadership" list serve. Women's bar leaders often use this e-mail link for business referrals, job postings, questions and timely updates on matters of concern to women's bar associations.

The NCWBA's monthly newsletter is another way we share news of significance to women's bar associations. Materials from member associations are important resources for the NCWBA as they help us keep in touch and aid in identifying overall trends and innovative programs.

Please help us share ideas, successes and experiences of your organization with other associations by adding us to your group's mailing list!
