About Association for Women Lawyers of Greater Kansas City

AWL was formed in 1976 to advance the role of women in the legal profession. Over the past four decades, our membership has grown to almost 600 lawyers and judges throughout the Kansas City area.

We are committed to helping women thrive in the law, and we fulfill our mission by providing:

Opportunities: We support women who seek appointments and leadership positions in the bar, governmental entities, civic groups and the judiciary.

Education: We provide continuing legal education and other programming to foster our members’ professional development.

Networking: We bring together attorneys, judges and other legal professionals across a variety of practices and specialties.

Philanthropy: We unite to be a force for good in our community. We work together to make a difference, and we dedicate our time and talents to help those in need.

Camaraderie: We support each other’s success. We recognize that our profession is challenging, so we provide mentors, scholarships and even some recreation.
