By submitting this application, I pledge to give voice and action to WLALA’s commitment to serve and advance the careers of all women lawyers of diverse backgrounds and identities. I recognize that WLALA must do more to use its power to address the particular barriers that diverse women face in the practice of law and generally. I am committed to being out front in the fight to eliminate structural racism and all forms of inequity (including based on age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, race, religion, and sexual orientation) that marginalize or impede the full participation of women in law and public life. I am committed to prioritizing WLALA’s goal of growing and serving a membership representative of the diverse community of women lawyers in Los Angeles through programs, events, scholarships, awards, public policy positions and actions that reflect WLALA’s core values of inclusivity, equity, and justice.
