The specific goal of HAWL’s Leadership Academy is to retain women in the legal profession by empowering them with the tools to achieve their professional goals while making space for their fulfillment in other areas of their lives.

The Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Professionalism will present its Group Professionalism Award to the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers Leadership Academy at the Annual Florida Bar Convention in June.

This award honors one program instituted and coordinated by a bar association, judicial organization, Inn of Court, or law school organization aimed at enhancing professionalism among lawyers and law students, and that can be implemented by other organizations to promote and encourage professionalism within the legal community.
