Due to the cancellation of the Mary Leonard Law Society’s WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP panel today, we have arranged for a reschedule of the event:

Join us for an exciting panel on Women in Leadership. 

Mitzi Naucler, Oregon State Bar President,
Sue Castner, Vision 2020 national delegate
Michelle Vlach-Ing, partner at Crowell Ing

Tuesday, March 20; Noon to 1:00 pm on the Willamette University campus (Room TBA)

As the number of women within the legal field has increased, the expectation arises that equality has been achieved. Fostering female leadership is an integral part of true equality within the profession, however, it is one that is frequently overlooked.

Our participants will discuss with us the challenge of Women in Leadership:
What are the barriers to it?
How can we encourage it?
How can we be a force that drives it?

Please Join Mary Leonard Law Society for a February Speaker Series On Work-Life Balance
Co-Sponsored by WUCL Career & Professional Development Center

In the month of February, we will explore the elusive goal of balancing responsibilities both at work and at home. Whatever your goals, these speakers can bring enormous benefit to your professional and personal life.

Julie Muller, owner of West Linn’s Peace of Mind, opens the three-week series. Julie is a life coach with years of experience showing frazzled, disorganized work-a-holics the light. The following week, our topic focuses on the how-tos of creating a more zen-like work life as Alice Phalan of Indigo Wellness demonstrates step-by-step methods for focusing and soothing your over-stressed brain.

The series concludes with a lively discussion with Jenny Foss, founder of JobJenny.com and headhunter extraordinaire. Jenny will share her tips and techniques for using LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging to tailor your networking and job hunting efforts to your own needs and availability.
