| President's MessageHAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY TO THE WESTCHESTER WOMEN’S BAR ASSOCIATION!!! by Sherry A. Bishko .jpg)
It is with great pleasure and unbridled enthusiasm that I ask all of our members to join me in kicking off and ushering in the WWBA’s 50th Year! 50 years ago, in 1975, the WWBA founders launched our beloved organization, prior to the formation of WBASNY. Could they have envisioned WWBA membership exceeding 550 attorneys, and WBASNY having thousands? Could our foremothers have dreamed the impact the WWBA would have on the legal community, and the progress we have made in forwarding our mission of promoting justice for all and using the law to advance the social, economic, and legal status of women? This is our year to shine and showcase all that the WWBA has accomplished and look forward to implementing all that is yet to be done. Our 50th Anniversary Committee has been hard at work planning events and celebrations. The WWBA’s Past Presidents are central to this celebration and we will be honoring them in many ways...WWBA RENEWALSRenew now and stay part of our dynamic network! Your WWBA membership is June 1 - May 31. Membership Renewal 2024-25 Form .pdf Member Login
