Action Steps for Advancing Women Lawyers

 Is your firm successfully advancing women lawyers? Has it been able to apply the recommendations of the Women Lawyers of Utah’s initiative on the advancement and retention of women lawyers?  If your firm would like to use a little help in this area, join national expert Cynthia Calvert for a free teleconference at noon on April 14, 2011.  She will provide concrete action steps firms can take to begin creating an environment where women lawyers can become high performers and rainmakers.  Topics to be covered include laying a proper foundation for a women’s advancement initiative, unspoken communication, inclusion of women in social activities, adopting flexible work options without creating a stigmatized mommy track, and bias-free evaluations.  Participants will have a chance to submit questions before or during the teleconference.

 Time: Noon to 1:00

 Cost: Free
