Founded in 1928, GAWL will celebrate its 95th anniversary this membership year with Valentia Alleyne at the helm. Through the years, GAWL has consistently lent its voice and leveraged its influence in matters impacting women and children in the community and there is more work to be done. Having served on the GAWL board for over a decade, Valentia is a true servant-leader who is poised and determined to continue GAWL’s undeniable history of advocacy and service.

Recently, host Ebony Phillips had the opportunity to sit down with Madam President and chat about all things GAWL, including Valentia’s simple, yet profound, advice for those desiring to assume a leadership position. Valentia also expounded on the wealth of phenomenal programming that GAWL has to offer women lawyers at all stages of their legal careers. Whether it be networking, professional development or social events, GAWL has something for every woman lawyer in the state.
