Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association hosts first meeting of mentorship committee
The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association held the first meeting of its new Mentorship Committee, which is aiming to help young lawyers by providing them with mentors who are well established in the legal community including both lawyers and judges.
“We had a great turnout for our first meeting,” said Nayota McGhie, the committee co-chair. “We are grateful that people are interested in the BWBA Mentorship Program. We had the opportunity to meet new members of the BWBA, and those interested in becoming more involved with our organization. We discussed the program, how to apply and had to opportunity to network.”
The meeting, which took place at the Brooklyn Bar Association in Brooklyn Heights last Wednesday, was attended by about 20 members and prospective members. The idea is to connect the younger and more experienced attorneys with women who are already well established in their careers.
