The 1891
The Colorado Women's Bar Association (CWBA) is an organization of women who inspire change, appreciate our differences, and foster a great community.
The CWBA is an active organization that provides networking events, professional education opportunities, and community-focused projects for lawyers and legal professionals with all levels of experience.
We are an organization of attorneys, judges, and law students working together to “advance women in the legal profession and women generally.” The CWBA is member-focused, providing a forum for idea exchange and learning together.
The CWBA Publications Committee works to inform members of the CWBA about activities and projects, to spur debate and member engagement on issues of special concern to women lawyers and women generally, and to recognize the achievements and contributions of women lawyers.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Diversity and inclusion are core values for the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, and we strive to incorporate these values into all aspects of our work including advocacy, communications, workplace environment, vendor selection, hiring, promotion, and retention. We appreciate and value ideas that come from a diverse legal environment and want to bring a diversity of thought, experience, and expertise to everything we do. We believe that an inclusive bar provides an atmosphere that allows all individuals to attain their greatest potential and achieve the greatest benefits for clients.
