The Colorado Women's Bar Association (CWBA) is the largest diversity bar association in Colorado and is one of the biggest and most influential women’s bar associations in the country. The CWBA even has its own lobbyist to promote the rights of women and children in Colorado. The CWBA’s mission has remained the same since inception in 1978: to promote women in the legal profession and the interests of women generally. The vision of these founders has resulted in promoting gender equality in the legal profession, preserving history, mentoring, granting scholarships for women law students through the CWBA Foundation, fighting discrimination, influencing legislation related to women and children, influencing the selection of judges, and training and education. The CWBA is a welcoming organization that many members describe as the “best part of being a lawyer.” We provide countless opportunities to meet with other members, network and form informal mentoring relationships. Also, we hold unique programs for moms, seasoned attorneys, and new attorneys. We are an organization of women who inspire change, appreciate our differences, and foster a great community. The CWBA is an active organization that provides networking events, professional education opportunities, and community-focused projects for lawyers and legal professionals with all levels of experience. We are an organization of attorneys, judges and law students working together to “advance women in the legal profession and women generally.” The CWBA is member-focused, providing a forum for idea exchange and learning together.

Forty-one percent of all lawyers in the United States are women. That number is growing slowly every year. Despite the meaningful change, men still dominate the upper echelons of the legal profession through federal judgeships, state supreme courts, law firm partnerships and corporate counsel positions.

The Colorado Women’s Bar Association remains steadfast in its mission to advance women as leaders in the law and to advocate for the interests of women, children, and other marginalized groups in Colorado and beyond. After every major national election, it’s important to remind ourselves that change happens at home. We are encouraged by the passage by Colorado voters of several important ballot measures that are significant steps toward justice and equity. We invite our members to engage with our Public Policy Committee to influence future legislation. Together, we can make a difference. #ShineYourTruth #Justice #Equity #CWBA #WomenInLaw READ OUR FULL STATEMENT: https://conta.cc/3NXG67n
