WOMEN LAWYERS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY

Welcome!

I am thrilled to have the honor of serving as WLFC’s next President. Thank YOU for allowing me this opportunity. 

 

In my almost 13 years of practice, WLFC introduced me to some of the most inspiring lawyers. WLFC's former presidents, officers, board members, and members have been champions for one another - including me - and have strived to live out the motto “we are our own best resource.” Our former presidents, officers, board members, and members are judges, magistrates, general counsel, managing partners, executive directors and are actively engaged in leadership for many other impactful boards and community groups. During my short time as President, I plan to honor their legacy while championing the needs of our current members. 

 

WLFC's legacy is celebrating 80 years! In the past 80 years, the legal profession, our community, and this world have changed drastically. Our membership has not only grown but evolved and diversified. We have expanded our programming to meet these changes. These are all things to be celebrated. But we’re not done.  

 

Through all the uncertainty that we all face, I can promise you that one certain thing is that through WLFC, you have many other people in your corner that are here to guide you through your professional - and a lot of times personal - challenges, growth, and even failures. 

 

As your President, I plan to continue to be as engaged as all the other fantastic and fabulous presidents before me and build on their legacy to serve every one of YOU. We are only as good as all of our members - so let’s make it a year where all of you feel supported, challenged, and included. This is YOUR WLFC! 

 

I invite you to reach out to me throughout the year as WLFC is YOUR organization and my sole desire and goal is to serve YOU. 

 

Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to a great year. 

 

All my best, 

Celia
