President's WELCOME

​A New Year is a chance for a new start. While we enter the third year of life upended by COVID-19, WLS will remain a constant. As the organization enters the year of its 60th Anniversary, WLS will continue to provide opportunities for networking and professional development and give back to our community. 

The 2022 WLS Board is an accomplished, bold, and impressive group and we have great things planned! The following list highlights some of the things we are working on for 2022:

• We are now offering a 25% Membership Discount to anyone who is also a member of a Sacramento County Bar Association Affiliate Organization. If you have not renewed your WLS Membership, now is the time!  Simply click the “Join” tab on our website - https://www.womenlawyers-sacramento.org/join.html.
• Our Programs Committee will be hosting events in February, June, and November.  And our Career Advancement and Retention Committee will be hosting events in April, July, and October. MCLE credits will be offered when appropriate.  More details about these events will be posted under the “Events” tab on our website as they become available- https://www.womenlawyers-sacramento.org/events.html.
• The Quarterly WLS Newsletter will be shifting to an online platform with monthly content and can be found at the “WLS News” page on our website - https://www.womenlawyers-sacramento.org/wls-news.
• 2022 is the 60th Anniversary of WLS!  We are planning an event to commemorate this occasion, tentatively scheduled to take place in May 2022.
• ArtFest will be held from September 29, 2022 – October 1, 2022.  The sip n' see will be held on Thursday, September 29th and will be the kick-off for bidding on the silent auction items.  Add these dates to your calendars now because this is not an event to be missed!  More information about ArtFest can be found on our website - https://www.womenlawyers-sacramento.org/artfest.html.
• COVID permitting, we anticipate hosting our annual Supreme Court Reception in November.

It is an absolute honor to serve as the 2022 President of WLS.  I look forward to connecting with our members over the next year, whether virtual or in person, and having some fun along the way!
