We invite all members of the Western Australian legal community to join us for our annual evening of celebration.
THEME
Women Lawyers WA holds our annual honours dinner in March in connection with International Women’s Day.
The UN theme for IWD this year is – March on!
WLWA have reflected on what this theme means to our members and our event theme is March on together. We are a proud community of women lawyers. We aspire to celebrate, support and advocate for all women lawyers, together. This honours dinner will be a particular celebration of what we can all achieve when we support each other and work together.
We hope that you all join us for this special event.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Join in the celebrations of the efforts and success of women lawyers in WA, as we enjoy a sumptuous 4 courses and delicious wines.
This will include the presentation of our annual awards which recognize women who have made an outstanding contribution to the legal profession, often achievements and successes that may not have been otherwise recognized.
Following the formalities there will be multiple different spaces to catch up with colleagues and friends, including the dancefloor!
Bring your juniors, supporters, promoters, colleagues and friends.
Dress code – for those wanting some guidance we say it is not a strict black-tie occasion. It is a special night of celebration, please dress in whatever enables you to feel part of the excitement.
