    The Public Policy and Gender Committee of the Kansas Women Attorney Association recently surveyed women attorneys across the Kansas City metro area and statewide, delving into various aspects affecting their recruitment and retention in the legal field. Our speakers, Danielle M. Atchison and Betsey L. Lasister, will address key themes such as growth, challenges, and potential solutions for women attorneys nationally. Following this, we will analyze how women attorneys in Kansas and the KC Metro region fare in five critical areas: Compensation, Mentoring, Quality of Life, Client Development Opportunities, and Recruitment. These insights stem from a comprehensive statewide survey conducted during the spring. They will shed light on both positive trends and areas needing improvement, with a focus on fostering actionable solutions within law firms. Ultimately, integrating these discussions into practical recommendations for law practice management, providing firm leaders with valuable insights to consider implementing and offering women lawyers effective strategies to leverage in their careers.

    This program has been approved for 1.0 hour of CLE credit in MO.  Kansas credit pending.
