• Engaging networking events for collegiality and professional development.

• Scholarships for members needing financial assistance with dues or attendance at the 2026 MWELA Annual Conference or NELA convention.

In the past year alone, MWELA members have been instrumental in:

• Improving employment and civil rights laws across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

• Planning substantive programs with judges and practitioners from various jurisdictions.

• Hosting social events that foster networking and collegiality within the legal community.

• Receiving the prestigious DC Bar's 2025 Voluntary Bar Association of the Year Award!
