Dear OCWLA Members,
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your 2025 Orange County Women Lawyers Association President. We begin this momentous year of our 50th anniversary with heavy hearts as we grieve with our Los Angeles County neighbors in the wake of the catastrophic wildfires. Our thoughts are with our members and neighbors who are suffering incredible loss right now.
As I mentioned at our installation dinner in December, one of our goals this year is to provide tangible opportunities for our community to support one another. We have listed on our website some ways we can support the fire victims and first responders.
Goals for our fiftieth anniversary year include:
- Offering advocacy and policy training for lawyers interested in advocating for women’s issues, locally and globally;
- Continuing to support our affiliate partners including the Unity Bar to support diversity on the Orange County Superior Court bench;
- Strengthening connections and networking opportunities for women in business and women lawyers through joint events; and
- Continuing to offer groundbreaking, one of a kind MCLE’s, and wonderful events like our gala and women judges reception.
This month, we will be offering the first in a “Professional Tool Kit” series. On January 29th, we will be hosting a photographer to take professional headshots for registrants. Hair and makeup touchups will also be available. Our first MCLE of the year, Celebrating Seven Historic Female Firsts on California’s Courts of Appeal will be on February 18th.
I am excited about the year ahead for the OCWLA! Thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of leading this organization. If you would like to help the fire victims and first responders, please see the resource link here.
Warmly,
Tracy Hughes
2025 OCWLA President
