LSSO LAUNCHES WOMEN LAWYERS SURVEY - WOMEN LAWYERS: SALES AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ISSUES

LSSO breaks new ground again with a pilot study that examines the sales and business development issues facing women lawyers. We anticipate that the results will begin to reveal the personal, professional and organizational factors that directly affect women’s success. Preliminary results will be presented at RainDance 2005 by the ABA Women Rainmakers and the survey will continue through October, 2005. We ask for your participation! Please forward this newsletter to women lawyers you know and take the survey online.
