Dear Members & Colleagues

Following our AGM held on 30 November 2006, I am delighted to announce the new committee as detailed below and thank those individuals for their interest and support. My President's report for the year will be posted to our website shortly and outlines the significant achievements for WLA this year and in particular our contributions to the national body, Australian Women Lawyers, which is increasing in importance as the move to a national profession gathers momentum.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 12 December for Xmas Cocktails, 6-8pm at Moonshadow, MLC Centre, Sydney. Gift bags, door prizes, cocktails and canapes! Please join us and our distinguished guests. Click here for details and registration
