We are beyond excited to announce the formation of a planning committee for our inaugural Ready Set DGC to GC program, set for February 12, 2025, in Chicago! This program is designed for women Deputy General Counsel who are ready to make the leap to General Counsel roles. Join us for a day of guided introspection, insightful discussions, and experienced advice and recommendations, as well as the opportunity to network with accomplished women leaders both in and around the legal community. We aim to create a safe space to address and talk about the challenges associated with transitioning to a GC role.
Our committee is a powerhouse of accomplished counsel who bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and passion. Their collective expertise will be instrumental in shaping a robust and impactful program. Let’s introduce our amazing committee members:
