Law Women—Opportunities for Involvement

Any student at the College of Law may join Law Women by attending a Law Women meeting, enrolling in the Law Women TWEN site, and paying $15 dues (see the TWEN site for more information).

Law Women members are encouraged to participate on one or more committees and become involved in Law Women in one of the following capacities:

• President – The President will organize and preside over the General Body and Executive Board meetings, delegate responsibilities to the Members, approve and initiate events planned by the Members, oversee all committees, and assume the Treasurer’s responsibilities if necessary. The President will serve as Chair of the Constitution Committee if a committee is needed to amend the current Constitution.
• Vice-President – The Vice-President will assist the President with her duties, preside over meetings if the President is absent, and assume her responsibilities if necessary. Additionally, the Vice-President will serve as the director of professional programming by coordinating speakers for monthly meetings (2-3 per semester) and organizing educational events, including the golf clinic.
• Treasurer – The Treasurer will collect dues, deposit money, maintain the banking account, and make purchases for the organization.
• Secretary – The Secretary will take minutes at General Body and Executive Board meetings and make the minutes available to all Members. Additionally, the Secretary will serve as the director of public relations by publicizing Law Women events to the law school community and, at times the general community, through emails, flyers, posters, and press releases.
• Philanthropy Chair – The Philanthropy Chair will organize at least two service projects each semester. At least one project each semester should raise awareness of women’s issues in the community. Examples include Race for the Cure and Toys for Tots in the Fall and the Chili Cook-off and Clothing Drive in the Spring.
• Historian – The Historian will maintain the website, update the online calendar weekly, and take pictures at all Law Women events or delegate someone to do so. Additionally, the Historian will act as the director of networking and career development by encouraging members to attend ETLAW activities and by organizing events such as the Ann Taylor Dress for Success Party. The Historian will also update the TWEN site.
• 1L Representative – The 1L Representative will serve as a link between the Executive Board and 1L class and encourage participation and membership within his or her class. Additionally, the 1L Representative will assist the Secretary with publicity for the organization and will design the Fall and Spring T-shirts.
