        It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
        It's hard to believe it but the holidays are almost upon us once again. Please join us as we reconnect with friends and colleagues at the MRWBA’s Holiday Luncheon

         on December 1st. We will be joined by our favorite local pianist, Tommy Witten, whose musical stylings will provide loads of holiday cheer. As always, we look forward to welcoming your legal staff to join us as we celebrate. And, if you are so inclined, bring a friend! We welcome the opportunity to share what makes our bar association so special with those who may not yet be members.

        Reminder - Board Vacancies

        There are currently two opportunities to serve on the MRWBA Board for the 2021-2022 board year.  This is your chance to reconnect with the Women’s Bar and work with an amazing group of women to provide valuable programming to our membership.  Both positions are “Co-Chair” positions, so you will partner with a current board member on projects.  See the committee descriptions below.  No specific experience is required, but previous involvement on the committees is helpful.

        To express interest, please complete and submit the application.  If you have questions, contact Mollie Barton (mbarton@familylawrva.com).

        The Legislative Committee Co-Chair position is for the remainder of this bar year, October 2021-May 2022.

        The Programs Committee Co-Chair position is for January 2022-December 2023.

        LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE

        Monitors legislative issues that have been identified as being of interest to our members and reports on those issues during and following the General Assembly session. Organizes and implements all aspects of the annual Legislative Luncheon each spring, which hosts our State Senators and Delegates to speak about their sponsored bills and provide insider glimpses of what happened on the floor and in legislative committees during the most recent legislative session. 

        PROGRAMS COMMITTEE

        Select speakers and arrange for their participation in programs for monthly luncheons. Submit appropriate programs for CLE Credit. Assist with the organization of additional member activities and programs.
