The Lane County Women Lawyers are hosting the annual Chapter Summit in 2025, a hybrid event in Eugene. Please join us if you are volunteering or interested in volunteering for leadership with an existing chapter, reviving an inactive chapter, forming a virtual chapter, or forming a new chapter.
The Summit is always a great networking opportunity and a lively discussion of the interests and needs of members statewide. We hope to host OWLS leaders from every chapter and committee this year. The Summit precedes the OWLS Fall CLE and Reception.
