Join your colleagues Nov. 30 for the second annual "Raising the Bar" program at Baker Donelson's office in Nashville. Produced by the TBA Women in the Profession Committee, the in-person program is applicable to all attorneys, male and female, as well as those in law firm management positions. This CLE addresses the importance of being an advocate for yourself and each other. The program will begin with a session focused on effectively soliciting raises and project assignments, making partner, receiving your fair share of credit on cases, scheduling needs and more. The second session will discuss frequent barriers impacting diverse women in the legal industry and best practices for supporting them and encouraging their success. The program continues with a session that will review notable legislation that can bolster efforts to advocate for yourself and those around you. We have a practical session for attorneys of all ages that will cover the financial aspects of preparing for retirement, and we will end the day with a presentation on maintaining work-life balance today to ease the transition into retirement. In addition to a networking breakfast in the morning, there will be a networking reception immediately following the program from 4:15-6 p.m. CST.
