AWL is a non-profit society established under the Societies Act of Alberta. We strive to be the premiere organization for women lawyers in the Calgary region.
We are governed and operated by a volunteer board of directors who reflect the attributes of our members: women practicing law in the city of Calgary and the surrounding area, in various specialties and at various levels of seniority.
We connect women lawyers with each other, help them advance their careers, and celebrate their accomplishments through our program of professional development, networking, mentoring, and career-building opportunities. We are dedicated to the advancement of women at all levels, and support both legal community endeavours and outreach in the community of women at large.
