Welcome to the virtual “home” of the Rockland County Women’s Bar Association. We are proud to be a chapter of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, and to be in our third decade as a resource for the public and legal professionals of Rockland County.

Like Rockland itself, our chapter reflects a diverse range of ages, backgrounds and interests; and we strive to address the needs of everyone. From our various Continuing Legal Education programs, to our social and networking evenings, to our community service, RCWBA members support each other and our communities.

As we approach the summer months, we can look back with pride on our accomplishments this year. We have expanded our presence in the community, through our team participation in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (coming up again this October!) and the Mental Health Association Parity Walk and Celebration. Our members volunteered their time and expertise on several evenings this year at our pro bono Legal Clinics at the Robert Yeager Health Center. We conducted several important and timely educational events, including a fall CLE on elder care/end-of-life issues; a winter dinner seminar on immigration law; and a spring CPLR update. Several evenings were devoted to collegiality, including our festive Holiday Party at Restaurant X (benefiting the Children’s Center at Family Court) and culminating in our fabulous Installation Dinner on June 11th, at Marcello’s. Check out the “Photos” portion of the website to see what we’ve been up to.

Your 2007-2008 Board will be hard at work this summer, planning events, CLEs and programs to benefit all our members. Be sure to be on the lookout for our newest program: The RCWBA Summer-Reading Book Club! Details will be out soon, with the selection of a book for discussion and review this September, as our kick-off event! We hope to announce new and useful CLE programs, and a few just-for-fun evenings, too. Watch your email for more information.

We welcome your ideas and your participation. Please feel free to contact any of our Board members at any time. Have a great summer, and see you in the fall!
