Last year’s summit theme was “Expanding the Impact of Your Women’s Bar Association”.

The morning session was“kicked-off” by a panel of NCWBA past presidents and moderated by current NCWBA president, Lynne Townsend Albert. This session allowed participants to share best practices from their state and local women’s bar associations.

Each year this session provides an excellent forum for women’s bar associations across the country to learn from each other’s successes and to prevent us from having to “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to programming and policies.
