Rockland County Women's Bar Association
About Rockland County Women's Bar Association
The purposes of the Rockland County Women’s Bar Association (RCWBA) are to provide a network and support system for the women attorneys in Rockland County and, through WBASNY, statewide; to provide educational programs to our members; to address issues affecting all lawyers, in particular women; and to encourage the interest of law in our system of justice and the law. After the publication of the report of the New York State Task Force on Women in the Courts, RCWBA researched and published its own report on women in the courts in Rockland County, as a result of which many improvements were made, including the Family Court and hearing examiner process. In addition, as a direct result of the efforts of RCWBA a local country club changed its by-laws to permit women to own memberships.
RCWBA continues to provide education programs to our members and support to the local community. We are proud to be able to bestow the Belle Mayer Zeck Award in recognition of an individual’s wisdom, ethics, creativity and pursuit of excellence in the law; thus promoting understanding between the legal profession and the community and advancing the state of women in society.
