WOMEN LAWYERS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY
We are our own best resource.
MESSAGE
FROM WLFC PRESIDENT
GINA PIACENTINO

GREETINGS!
One of my closest friends, when acknowledging the proposed slate of officers for the 2025-2026 year said “you’re doing this again?”.
My past president’s incoming remarks still hold true, as was my response to her: We women are all in this together. As a 14-year member of the Women Lawyers of Franklin County, I am deeply honored to be President for our 2025-2026 year. I treasure our organization which has not only survived for over 75 years but flourished, I believe, because of the dedicated guidance and commitment of our members, our committees, and our leaders.
Since my last presidency, I still see female lawyers stand up to injustices and continue to advocate for fair treatment for all people. Our strength lies in vision, honor, and dedication to uphold the rule of law. Because of our numbers, with the wisdom and compassion of women, we come out strong as an organization as we continue to deal with expected and unexpected events. We have done so in the past; we are doing so now. We live our motto: “We are our own best resource.”
As president of our organization, I intend to carry on, support, and expand our work and our commitment to each other and to justice. Thank you for believing in my service to this great organization.
Gina Piacentino
WLFC President, 2025-2026
