    Register for the Legislative Update on April 20th

    Join us as MRWBA once again resumes our in-person meetings at Willow Oaks Country Club and we welcome a panel of Virginia Legislators to answer your questions about General Assembly action, or lack thereof, on issues of importance to our members. 

    Do you have a question you would like to ask the panelists?  We are seeking questions on the key topics identified by members: voting rights, domestic relations, attorneys, courts and judges, and criminal law.  Please submit your questions to admin@mrwba.org.  We will provide these questions to the panelists before the program.

    Enrollment is limited, and could shift as COVID cases continue to fluctuate - so register early to be assured that you have a seat at the table.

    Thanks to our Platinum Sponsor

    Thanks to our Gold Sponsors

    Reminder - Submit Your Nomination for the MRWBA Woman of Achievement Award

    As our members know all too well, 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 we need your help to find the 2022 Woman of Achievement!

    Click here for criteria and the nomination form.

    All nominations are due no later than April 8th. Questions? E-mail Awards Chair Blaire Hawkins O’Brien
