It has been a tremendous honor to serve as the 106th President of WLALA and I am so proud of all that WLALA has accomplished this past year. We started with the theme “Opening Doors of Opportunity” and manifested it whether it be supporting the endorsement of more than 40 candidates to the judicial bench, collaborating with Sister Bar organizations to fundraise for organizations to support and uplift survivors of domestic violence, or raising awareness to support efforts to protect reproductive rights and maintain the integrity and independence of the judiciary. This summer, we are delighted to present a free in-person program courtesy of HRC Fertility, on August 27, 2026, where physicians will spill the tea on egg freezing and answer your burning questions. Whether you’re thinking about starting a family some day or are simply curious about your options, we encourage you to attend.

Of course, none of WLALA’s programs would be possible without our members and the generous donations of our sponsors throughout the year. If you would like to support WLALA, I urge you to consider becoming an Annual Sponsor and, if you’re inclined, attend and/or become a sponsor of WLALA’s upcoming Installation and Awards Gala taking place on Friday, September 18, 2026, at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood. Tickets and sponsorships are available here: 2026 WLALA Awards and Installation Dinner – WLALA. It promises to be an inspiring and enchanting evening as we honor The Women of Signature Resolution, Genie Harrison Law Firm, and Professor Catherine Lhamon, and install Jennie Wang VonCannon as WLALA’s 107th President as she takes the reins and leads WLALA to new heights. I hope to see you there.

With Gratitude,
