The symposium is the kick-off event for the "Best Practices for the Hiring, Training, Retention and Advancement of Women Attorneys" developed by the City Bar's Committee on Women in the Profession in conjunction with the City Bar's Diversity Initiative.
In 2004, the Committee on Women in the Profession launched a blue-ribbon initiative to develop the Best Practices for the hiring, training, retention and advancement of women attorneys. The Best Practices provide practical suggestions for law firms, corporations and other organizations that employ lawyers to help them achieve such goals. The Symposium will offer in-depth discussions of each Best Practice and several outstanding panels of distinguished attorneys and professionals will share their experiences and insight.
The Symposium will conclude with a networking lunch for all attendees and panelists.
