President's Message
Welcome to KCWWL’s new website, and happy New Year! I am honored and pleased to represent KCWWL as its new President.
For those of you who don’t know me yet, I am the mother of twins and a defense attorney in Seattle, and I look forward to continuing the work of KCWWL over the coming year. I am also thrilled to be working with the group of women making up our 2012 Board. We are a dedicated and enthusiastic group, and plan to serve our members and legal community with many opportunities to get to know King County’s fabulous female attorneys, and to provide low cost, highly-relevant educational opportunities as we all adapt to these challenging economic times.
One of the things I have heard that our members value about KCWWL, is that it has a history of providing networking opportunities for women lawyers and that it provides a needed forum for the discussion of issues that affect women lawyers. That is something important to me as well, and I plan on increasing such opportunities in 2012, by reviving and continuing key networking events, where our members will be able to meet and talk, as well as continuing to provide quality CLEs. Our Board has had its initial planning meeting for the year, and networking opportunities are at the top of our list. Please watch for our save-the-date notices coming soon.
Communication is also very important to me. One of the things that my boss, Mike Patterson, has always emphasized, is always letting our clients know where we are and how they can reach us, and responding to their inquiries promptly. That is a value I bring with me to KCWWL, and I am committing to you that I will be communicating often about what we are doing, where we are going, and how you can participate. I hope that I will hear a lot from you all as well.
I invite all of you to join or renew your membership, if you have not already done so, so that you can continue to take advantage of the membership benefits of both WWL and KCWWL. This should be an exciting year!
Sarah Mack, President
Washington Women Lawyers, King County Chapter
