Plugging the Leaky Pipeline:
Promoting Women’s Leadership in Our Legal Community

A series of town hall discussions

Plugging the Leaky Pipeline: Carving Your Own Path to Success

Successful but skeptical, we face daily challenges in the profession, the workplace and our personal lives that lead us to question our ability to succeed in the paths we pursue.  We ask ourselves, “am I making the right decision for me, my career, and my personal life?”  We wonder whether we should give up the prospect of partnership in exchange for the perceived lifestyle change of serving as in-house counsel, opening our own firm, or leaving the profession altogether.  We ask ourselves, “what sacrifices will I have to make to be successful?”  Most, if not all, of us have pursued our careers with these heavy questions in mind.  Please join us and our distinguished panel for our first in this year’s series of Plugging the Leaky Pipeline town hall discussions.  Listen to our panelists as they discuss openly and answer your questions candidly about how they carved their own path to success, the tough decisions they made along the way about their career and/or family to make it work, and the challenges they faced or perhaps continue to face as they advance in their careers.
