Reunion
The National Conference of Women’s Bar Associations celebrated its 40th anniversary with a reunion event in October 2024 in Washington, DC. This milestone gathering brought together members, past and present, to honor four decades of commitment to advancing women in the legal profession. Attendees had the chance to reconnect, share experiences, and inspire one another in the nation’s capital. Together, we celebrated NCWBA’s legacy and our ongoing mission to advocate for equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal field.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you for joining us at the NCWBA reunion! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and reconnect with all of you. Your presence helped make the event a memorable one, and we hope you enjoyed the time spent together as much as we did.
We’ve put together a photo album to capture some of the best moments from the reunion reception, and we’d love for you to take a look. You can view and download the photos here: NCWBA 40th Reunion Photo Album.
