About the Committee
The National Women’s Law Center’s Leadership Advisory Committee (LAC) is a high-level advisory committee of talented leaders designed to provide the Law Center with advice and support on critical issues that affect women and their families. Members of the committee act as goodwill ambassadors for the Law Center, and are charged with assisting the Law Center in building on its success with an eye toward the future.
Membership Benefits
Individual members of the committee have an opportunity to:
- Engage with the policy challenges facing women and girls by receiving regular updates on the Law Center’s issues;
- Provide feedback and advice on these issues, as well as ways that the Law Center can build on its successes;
- Network with dynamic industry leaders including the Law Center’s Board Members at bi-annual meetings and regional events;
- Lead and participate in subcommittees to help support specific activities of the Law Center.
How to Join
The Law Center selects LAC members primarily from eligible nominees who are employed by entities that provide significant annual support to the Law Center. LAC membership is renewed on an annual basis. Companies and law firms often consider the LAC an investment in the Law Center’s mission as well as an investment in their talented staff.
