Welcome to the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York (“WBASNY”). I am honored to serve as its 44th President. Our mission is to advance the status of women in society, issue policy statements on issues of statewide and national significance relating to women and women lawyers, and facilitate the fair administration of justice.
The theme this year is “Propelling WBASNY Forward, Progress for New York” which includes succession planning for the next generation of leaders and increasing membership.
Progress for New York includes the passage of the New York Equal Rights Amendment (“ERA”), remedying the “undervaluation of women’s work” in both the workplace and the home in damages award calculations, increasing judicial security, and the Grieving Families Act.
WBASNY is the largest statewide women’s bar association in the United States. It has twenty (20) chapters throughout the state and 40+ practice committees (including two (2) new committees, Young Lawyers and Solo and Small Firm) which offer members opportunities to network with colleagues and participate in social action events to help improve the lives of others. We offer continuing legal education programs which are free to our members. If you are not a WBASNY member, we welcome you to join a Chapter and enjoy the benefits of a WBASNY membership.
