Welcome to the Metropolitan Richmond Women’s Bar (MRWBA) web site.
The MRWBA is dedicated to supporting professional advancement and
enhancing personal satisfaction for women in the legal profession.
It is my honor and privilege to serve as President of this
prestigious organization. During my years with with the MRWBA, I
have focused on service to the citizens of the Metro Richmond area
as well as to members of the Bar. This year’s theme, “A Call to
Action,” is a particularly worthy one, in my view. I believe that it
is our true calling as attorneys to advance the common good as we
advance professionally. We have a platform that allows us to make a
difference in our communities if we commit ourselves to reserving
time for this purpose. The strain of balancing our jobs and our
obligations to families and friends can overwhelm us at times, yet I
encourage every lawyer in this organization to make a personal
commitment to community service.
If you are not already a member, I encourage you to join by clicking
on our membership page for an on-line application. If you are a
returning member, please check our web site for updates and
information on our interesting programs and events.
I look forward to a great year and welcome your ideas, suggestions
and comments.
Vanessa L. Jones
President 2009-2010
