I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the NBA Women Forum on the successful planning and execution of this landmark event.
This gathering of female lawyers is not only timely but also addresses a theme that is crucial in today’s legal landscape.
The NBA Women Forum stands out as a vital segment of the NBA, tirelessly dedicated to the welfare and professional development of female lawyers.

I want to commend the entire leadership of the NBAWF for their commitment and exemplary work. Kudos to the entire Central Planning Committee for bringing this event together.
As a proud advocate of the NBAWF, I firmly believe that together, we can move from promise to action and achieve gender parity for meaningful and lasting change.
As we conclude this remarkable conference, I offer a prayer for all the women in the legal profession: May you continue to find strength in your purpose, courage in your challenges, and unwavering support in your journey.
May your passion for justice inspire others, and may you always stand tall as advocates for change.
In the wise words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” Let us strive to ensure that this becomes our reality.

Cheers to a wonderful conference!
I wish you all a purposeful and inspiring summit.
