Kansas Women Attorneys Association
Statement on Member Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
The Kansas Women Attorneys Association (KWAA) is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Consistent with these ideals, KWAA previously adopted the Pillars of Professionalism.
We embrace and encourage our members’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that distinguish our members.
Your Kansas Women Attorneys Association is off to another great year! We would like to introduce you to the Public Policy and Gender Committee chairs, Betsey Lasister and Danielle Atchison. This year, the committee will be focusing its attention on a single public policy and gender initiative—retaining and advancing women in the legal profession.
A Tampa Bay-based bar association recently worked on this issue, identifying major reasons and potential solutions to the devastating numbers of women departing the profession in their program called “Staying in the Game.” The committee chairs plan to connect with the Tampa bar association to identify how the groundwork can be laid to look into the same issues in our own state. We anticipate the project to require efforts of all KWAA members and affiliate bar associations. We are hopeful the initiative will identify some solutions for ensuring our amazing women lawyers “Stay in the Game.”
Additionally, our membership may have other public policy and gender issues that they would like to address along the way. This committee will be available to work with members to identify the best resources for action. Our goal, as always, is to serve our members, so please feel free to email them directly.
The KWAA listserve allows members to obtain guidance and quick answers to legal questions with which they are not familiar from other practitioners in the field, as well as providing a referral source.
KWAA provides a variety of networking opportunities for its members.
KWAA provides some of the best CLE in the state at a discounted price for members. We bring in high profile national and/or legal speakers, both as keynote speakers and CLE presenters.
