The National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL) and Minnesota Women Lawyers (MWL),
together with Dorsey & Whitney LLP, are pleased to present: "Take Charge of Your
Career: Best Practices for Women Attorneys®." This event, modeled after NAWL’s
hallmark professional development seminar, is designed to advance women
attorneys within the legal field by developing the skills critical to sustaining
the long-term practice of law. NAWL's seminar is uniquely designed to guide,
grow, and encourage women in law, as well as provide a wonderful networking
opportunity.
With the success of our past “Take Charge” seminars, MWL took member comments
and incorporated them into a new half-day seminar, complete with fresh insights
and tools that are ready to apply directly to your own career, your leadership
potential, and your life.
