OWLs Seeks Workplace Leader Award Nominations
Oregon Women Lawyers’ mission is to transform the practice of law and ensure justice and equality by advancing women and minorities in the legal profession. While most legal employers agree in concept that such changes are needed, many disagree on how to achieve these goals. The OWLs Workplace Leader Award recognizes a legal employer making innovative and effective efforts to promote a healthy balance between work and life, acquiring and maintaining a diverse workforce with diverse leadership and/or maximizing opportunities for women and minorities to succeed in the workplace and advance to positions of influence & leadership.

OWLs would like to encourage applications from in-house legal departments, government employers and employers who are making strides in recruiting and retaining ethnic minority lawyers and equipping them for leadership. The 2011 award recipient will be honored at OWLs’ Fall CLE reception on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011.
