NAWJ CO-SPONSORS WITH PROJECT FOR ATTORNEY RETENTION FIRST ANNUAL CONFERENCE "POSITIONING LAW FIRMS FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS: NEW STRATEGIES FOR ADVANCING WOMEN LAWYERS"

The one day "Positioning Law Firms for Long-Term Success: New Strategies for Advancing Women Lawyers" Conference will be held May 15, 2008 at George Washington University's Marvin Center in its Third Floor Ballroom, 800 21st Street, NW in Washington, D.C.

According to Conference organizers, "despite best intentions and a variety of women's initiatives, legal employers are still having a difficult time retaining and promoting women lawyers." The conference will provide legal employers with innovative, proven strategies for advancing women lawyers and, ultimately, strengthening their organizations for the future.

Project for Attorney Retention is an initiative of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California Hastings College of the Law (formerly the Program on Gender, Work and Family at American University Washington College of Law). It is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and other grantors, and supported by the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia.
