We’re
Trying Something New in 2008 . . .
Minnesota Women Lawyer’s Annual Meeting
Splits Into Two Fabulous New Events
(Why get together just once, when we
can get together twice??)
MWL is
pleased to announce that its Annual Meeting, typically held in late spring each
year, will take the new form of two separate events
in 2008. “We hope this change to the MWL events schedule will provide ample opportunity for our members to celebrate
and connect with one another,” states 2007-2008 MWL President Kari Jensen Thomas. “Our Winter Celebration in
February brought MWL members and the MN legal community together for a fun-filled evening and chance to raise
money for our newly created law student scholarship fund. Our spring business meeting will give us a chance to reflect on the
past year, welcome the new slate of leaders and recognize our award recipients.”
Each event is highlighted below:
MWL’s 2008 Winter Celebration
Similar in format to past annual meetings, the 2008 Winter Celebration
was held on Tuesday, February 12th, 2008. It was our premier networking event of the year,
complete with dinner and a
keynote address. MWL
was pleased to welcome Jan Crawford Greenburg as its 2008 Winter Celebration
keynote speaker. Jan Crawford Greenburg is a correspondent for ABC News who
covers law and politics for World News Tonight, Nightline, Good Morning America,
and This Week with George Stephanopoulos. She is also the author of “Supreme
Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court.”
In true MWL style,
this event continued to provide our
members and guests
with an opportunity to hear from speakers who are current
trendsetters, both in and out of the legal community. We also featured
a
silent auction, to help support MWL’s newly created law student scholarship fund. And, as with all MWL events, the
2008 Winter Celebration provided the chance
to reconnect with old MWL friends, and meet a few new ones too.
MWL’s 36th
Annual Meeting (Thursday, May 15th, 2008)
In its newly revamped format, MWL’s 36th Annual Meeting will offer an
opportunity to focus on a topic we really like: US!
We’ll take a look at the
past year and at the year ahead; we’ll elect our
new board of directors; and
we’ll honor our 2008 Annual Award
recipients. We hope you’ll
join us
to
celebrate our past accomplishments and plan our future successes.
