Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors

Presented by the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession and the Young Lawyers Division

The third Women in Law Leadership Academy is scheduled for November 8-9, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place.

Take charge of your leadership potential -- self-assess -- build your own personal leadership plan. Hear from those who have led the way before you, and take away practical, concrete advice and guidance. The WILL Academy will empower early- to mid-career women lawyers by enhancing their leadership skills, motivating them to stay in the profession, and instilling in them the capacity to direct their own careers more effectively through mentors and networking.
