Minnesota Women Lawyer’s 36th Annual Meeting
(Register Here)

In continuing with a new event format this year, MWL is pleased to announce its 36th Annual Meeting.  This luncheon event 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.
