Join us for a panel discussion led by female leaders in the legal profession as we reflect on lessons learned from 2020.  We will cover a variety of topics relating to how women attorneys have navigated change and uncertainty during the past several months, harnessed their strengths and skills as leaders, and collaborated effectively with others while working remotely and balancing competing obligations.

By attending the breakout room discussion, you will be entitled to an additional .5 hours of Illinois MCLE General Credit.
