The WBA Foundation is excited to recognize our 2022 grantees at this virtual award ceremony and networking event. The celebration brings together members of the Washington, DC legal community and others to advance our mission of leveraging the generosity of lawyers and friends in support of nonprofits serving the legal and related needs of women and girls in the DC Metro community.
We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker: Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC).
New this year, we are presenting our inaugural WBA Foundation Champion Award to Marjorie O’Connell. The award recognizes a devoted Foundation champion: Marjorie was a founding member of the Foundation and served as its first president, from 1981-1983. Marjorie was instrumental in focusing early Foundation efforts on initiatives that supported at-risk women and children. She was also involved in forming the National Foundation of Women’s Bar Associations. She started her own firm in 1977, O’Connell & Associates, focusing on tax law.
The WBA Foundation’s 2022 grant recipients are at the forefront of efforts to reach and serve some of the most vulnerable members of our community, individuals who are facing challenges ranging from homelessness to domestic violence and workplace discrimination. It is our privilege to recognize and honor them through our grant-making process.
