Submit your Nomination for MRWBA’s Woman of Achievement Award!As we are all aware, women lawyers often feel ‘invisible’ to firm, corporate and government leaders when it comes to being recognized for the work they do. To help us address this issue on a local level, each year the MRWBA Woman of Achievement Award recognizes a member who “exemplifies legal professionalism.” Our list of past honorees reads like a virtual Who’s Who of the Metro Richmond women's legal community, and now we need your help to find the 2020 Woman of Achievement! Click here for criteria and the nomination form. All nominations are due no later than November 6th. Questions? E-mail Awards Chair Blaire Hawkins O’Brien.________________________________________________ Virtual Lunch-In: Compassion Fatigue - What is it and How it May Impact Members of the Legal CommunityJoin us on November 11th as we hear from Virginia Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (formerly Lawyers Helping Lawyers) as they discuss compassion fatigue and provide members with insight on how to handle compassion fatigue.
