Save the Date! ABA Women Rainmakers Mid-Career Workshop
October 19-21, 2012
Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe, CA

Reaching the Next Summit - Challenges and Choices for Designing Your Ascent

Climbers who train and prepare to scale a mountain don't aim for the middle - their goal is the peak. That is what makes them more likely to succeed.

Charting your legal career can be just as important. The ABA Women Rainmakers Mid-Career Workshop is here to help you prepare for your ascent. No matter where you are in your journey, whether gathering experience in the early years of practice, or in a legal career that already has reached considerable heights, a successful ascent involves preparing for the next summit.

Join fellow women lawyers for an intensive three-day workshop designed to help you hone your rainmaking skills, as you develop your own personal strengths and assess and marshal your weaknesses. Additionally, you will evaluate and develop your personal brand and learn the elements to perfect your client pitch. Come to the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, on October 19-21, 2012, to be part of this special event that will help you make the right moves, grab the best holds and place the best footholds to continually ascend.

Registration opening soon!
