Our motto is: "We are our own best resource." I've been reflecting on what that message has meant to our organization for the past 81 years and how I can do my part to make sure it stays applicable in the future.  Who are we? What resources do we have to offer? And how can we make sure we are representing all of the women lawyers of Franklin County?

 

Those are the tough questions the strategic planning committee and board have grappled with in the past few years, and I am excited to helm this great organization at a time of change. WLFC has meant so much to me and many others in their legal career, serving  as a refuge to women lawyers who may not feel welcomed in "traditional" legal spaces.  My goal is to ensure we are walking the walk and living up to our motto. Our programming and our board must be accessible, engaging, and inclusive of the full range of the women lawyers in this county.

 

I will strive to be worthy of the title of president every day, and I ask you all to help me and hold me to task as we navigate a new chapter of WLFC.
