Mentoring Circles

In GAWL Mentoring Circles, participants give and get advice, share professional and personal experiences, and make friends that last a lifetime. GAWL mentoring circles are not accepting new applications at this time, but we will announce enrollment opportunities when they arise.
 

Leadership Academies

According to studies, women lawyers believe they are missing out on mentoring and training that would better equip them to be leaders in their firms and communities. The GAWL Leadership Academy is designed to give women lawyers a crash-course in the subjects they need, and they will be able to network with other rising stars from across the state. The next academy will take place in the 2013-2014 board year.
