Message from the President

Welcome to WLAM Wayne Region! It is a sincere honor to serve as President alongside such an exceptional group of women on the Board this year. Each and every one of them inspires me on a daily basis and allows me to rest assured that the organization will be in great hands long after my departure. Nothing we have in store for this year could be accomplished without their dedication, collaboration, and creative spirit.

Even more importantly, we would be nothing and nowhere without our members, our sponsors, and our supporters – supporters of not only our organization but of all women and diverse individuals in the legal community, as we continue to find our place of belonging in an industry that tends to resist change more than most. Our mission is to strive not simply for equality but for true equity and inclusion, and to ensure that the next generation of attorneys enters the practice on a more level playing field than ever seen before.

We kicked off our series of Signature Events in September with our 15th Annual Wine & Garden Party hosted by Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Sima Patel, where we enjoyed a beautiful evening at the Inn on Ferry Street. Next to follow will be our Membership Drive in November at the Grayhaven Marina, for which we have set a goal of gaining a historic number of new members. We intend to do this by making the event family-friendly to attract mothers in the law as well as through our new “Sponsor a Student” initiative. As a Board, we recognize how greatly we have benefited from the support system provided to us by our fellow members. We want to pay this forward by sponsoring WLAM memberships for law students who may not be in a position to financially pay “dues” but who nonetheless deserve the mentorship and sense of community that WLAM can offer.

Stay tuned for more details about our Winter Wine Down and Spring Wellness events which will be finalized in the coming months. Look out for announcements about Book Club and Legal Libations. And be sure to save the date for our Annual Meeting at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial on April 25, 2024, where we will be recognizing award and scholarship recipients and swearing in the new Board!
