2023 SPEAKER SERIES: PRACTICING INCLUSIVITY
Each calendar year, the Queen’s Bench monthly CLEs and events focus on a different theme. In 2023, the theme of Queen’s Bench lunchtime CLE series is “Practicing Inclusivity.” At our monthly, free CLEs open to all, you will hear touching stories from women-identified professionals (including but not limited to lawyers) who have overcome extraordinary challenges to become leaders in our state.
Please join us on March 14th in welcoming speaker Trudy Allen at our upcoming Queen’s Bench luncheon! Trudy Allen first joined the OWLS Foundation Board as Historian in 1999 and is also now the Secretary. She served on the Queen’s Bench Board for 11 years (President twice) and on the OWLS Board for 7 years (Historian for 5 years).She has retired from the practice of law, where most recently she was General Counsel of U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank. In addition to her current volunteer service for the OWLS Foundation, she is doing volunteer work for the Oregon Women Judges project, a joint effort between Oregon Women Lawyers and the U.S. District Court of Oregon Historical Society to compile information on all the women who have served as judges in Oregon. She received her J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School in 1982 and her B.S. from Penn State in 1972. Trudy has spoken about the history of Queen’s Bench for its 50th and 60th anniversaries, and we are honored to have her share about the history of our chapter for its 75th anniversary.
Queen’s Bench CLEs are now being held in-person at the Multnomah County Central Courthouse, and are also simulcast on FacebookLive, the second Tuesday of the month from noon until 1 PM.
