WELCOME to the New GIRL ATTORNEY FB Group MEMBERS: So glad you are here! If you’ve not introduced yourself yet – do it now! There’s no time that’s too late…in fact, there is NO LATE….just whenever you get to it is perfect. Just do it! Also, REMEMBER that the info you put in your post is “Search-able” so be mindful of including the STATE you practice in, the AREAS OF LAW you practice and hopefully, too, include some fun personal stuff too that helps us know you better! Oh, and feel free to copy and paste that intro from this Original Group – right into your State Group….if you’ve got one!
WELCOME NEWEST STATE GROUPS! GIRL ATTORNEY has grown by FOUR States this week:
- GIRL ATTORNEY – MA: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1572638049706021/
-
GIRL ATTORNEY – FL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1304381212906382/
AND….as of this morning (drumroll please)…..
- GIRL ATTORNEY – DE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/936170073195972/
-
GIRL ATTORNEY – OH: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1683178908672378/
Y’all, ONLY two weeks ago, I “spun off” the FIRST State Group (Oklahoma) so that the State-specific inquiries wouldn’t distract from/dominate the larger discussion that could/should be had on the Original GIRL ATTORNEY FB Group page. AND THEN…….I had several unsolicited inquiries about other states from gals interested in having a GIRL ATTORNEY FB Group that would even offered to serve their state as a co-admin with me. SO, NOW WE HAVE NINE:
GIRL ATTORNEY – COLORADO: https://www.facebook.com/groups/577…
GIRL ATTORNEY – FLORIDA: https://www.facebook.com/groups/130…
GIRL ATTORNEY – IDAHO: https://www.facebook.com/groups/638003283041396/
GIRL ATTORNEY – ILLINOIS: https://www.facebook.com/groups/922953737814898/
GIRL ATTORNEY – MASSACHUSETTS: https://www.facebook.com/groups/157…
GIRL ATTORNEY – MISSOURI: https://www.facebook.com/groups/537235049799177/
GIRL ATTORNEY – NEW YORK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/956…
GIRL ATTORNEY – OKLAHOMA: https://www.facebook.com/groups/575801225935845/
GIRL ATTORNEY – TEXAS: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1778808199026552/
Also, btw, we have at least one new Regional Group being added soon: WASHINGTON D.C. is coming – again, because of awesome volunteers!
PLEASE JOIN A STATE GROUP, if 1. you are licensed to practice there, if 2. you are interested in the law or the folks (maybe you went to school w/ a bunch of gals there), or if 3. you have an inquiry or offer that relates to only that State – so that you can post it there and not on the Original Group.
If you are interested in being an additional co-admin for an existing State Group – or for the creation of a new one – PM me, please!
ALSO NOTE: GIRL ATTORNEY – WASHINGTON DC is coming! Woo-hoo!
GIRL ATTORNEY – EVENTS: #GAgettogether
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – it takes a little something extra to be both interested and willing to take the initiative to set up a get together. You ladies are the best of the best!
HAPPY HOUR! THIS FRIDAY – Oklahoma City (Hostess: Melissa French) · August 26 @ Pink Parrot Everyone is invited!!! Over 35 have RSVP’d already….should be a lot of fun – especially since they are opening the place up early JUST FOR US!
Also, fyi Re EVENTS – if you do want to host an event through GIRL ATTORNEY, and you have a State page, please create an Event (see top of the Group page…far right is where the “Events” are/where you can create one) so that your event can be easily found/joined. The “Events” FB function allows you to add an image – so, just send me a pic you want to use for your event for the designer to put the logo onto it (OR, if you don’t want to/can’t decide on a image – feel free to just ask me for one to use).
GIRL ATTORNEY PODCAST is COMING: Just yesterday I got a PM asking me if I’d considered starting a podcast…. 😉 Why yes (as I shared just last week for the first time), I have! I have been planning for some time to produce a GIRL ATTORNEY Podcast. I will be interviewing women with law degrees (litigators, business people, stay-at-home moms, politicians, artists, etc…etc…). Of course, I will interview members of our Group(s). But, also, I hope to also have the opportunity to interview women attorneys of influence whom we’ve all heard about – but quite possibly simply have not had the opportunity to hear FROM about their work from a more personal perspective. No matter the path an interviewee has taken, each person’s path has potential to teach each of us more about ourselves and how we might impact our community as attorneys. If you have a connection to someone well-known, or if you have someone you are aware of whose story needs to be told – please PM me!
Also, last but not least on the Podcast topic: I have a short list of entities (CLIO, Fastcase, Blue Apron, etc…) that I am reaching out to about podcast sponsorships. Do you know anyone at any of these places that might be a good contact to discuss this with? Other ideas for sponsors that would likely relate well to our Group as a whole – maybe a company or organization that you are involved in? THANK YOU to the GAs who have already contacted me with offers of sponsorship! Anyone else? If so, again, PM me!
WEBSITE COMING: The website that is being developed as a companion to this Group page is coming along NICELY! THANK YOU to the many gals who have expressed an interest in getting involved in providing some original content through the girl attorney website, anyone else (now or later) – shoot me a PM on that! I’d love to facilitate as many of you contributing Original content as are interested.
Well, that’s all folks – there’s my overview of This Week in GA!
Goodnight, Girl Attorneys.
