Welcome…

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to the web page of The Leadership Institute for Women of Color Attorneys in Law and Business, Inc.  We are very excited about our upcoming program scheduled for March 17th – 19th in Atlanta, GA at The Ritz-Carlton (downtown).

It is our mission to educate, mentor, inspire and network with women of color attorneys and businesswomen as well as create a forum to teach mentoring and networking skills that are critical to our success in the business world.  This will be achieved during our upcoming events featuring the most prominent women  of color attorneys and businesswomen in the United States who are leaders in their professions. It is indeed a privilege for us to present these outstanding, knowledgeable women of color pioneers who will share with you their strategies for success. 

Our program will continue provide seminars headed by experts for our up and coming law students on such topics as (1) how to succeed in law school; (2) how to make wise career choices; and (3) financing your law school education.   We will continue our Leadership Institute/ McGuireWoods scholarship competition and provide scholarships to assist students with the financial challenges of law school.  

The Leadership Institute’s annual conference will create opportunities for our attendees to volunteer as mentors for our High School Pipeline program, a partnership with the State Bar of Georgia Diversity Program and Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School.  The two week program provides high school students training in writing, grammar and speech; mentoring from seasoned attorneys and training in other important life skills.  The program’s goal is to promote the academic and social success of high school children of color and help fuel the pipeline for law schools, law firms and legal departments. It is not enough that our attendees gain knowledge that will help them reach their goals in their professions; but it is imperative that our mentees reach out, reach back and give of themselves to those who look to them as role models.

Let us continue to enjoy a wonderful networking and learning experience at our upcoming conference.

I am looking forward to seeing all of you then!

Best regards,

Marian Cover Dockery, Esq.
