Welcome to the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, where I am honored to serve as President for the 2023-2024 term. Our mission is to advance women in society and the legal profession, uphold justice, and unite as a strong voice on important issues, particularly for women attorneys. This year, our theme, “Still We Rise: Honoring Our Past, Fortifying Our Future,” highlights the resilience of our members and their commitment to effecting positive change in the face of challenges.
During my tenure, we will celebrate our trailblazing members and work to inspire the next generation of women attorneys. We’ll establish a statewide mentoring circle to connect experienced practitioners with aspiring lawyers, bridging generational gaps and fostering innovation. Together, we will champion the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in New York and advocate for critical issues such as pay equity, reproductive rights, and gender-based discrimination protection. We invite you to join us in our journey toward a more equitable future, as we rise, empower, and transform together.
With great enthusiasm and determination,
Dawn A. Lott, Esq., WBASNY President
