It was a lovely afternoon on March 6, just a week before most of us went into quarantine/work from home mode, where so many fabulous female and supportive male attorneys gathered at The Drake for High Tea. We celebrated International Women’s Day and the accomplishments of women on a local and national scale. Ava George Stewart encouraged us to be proud of there being six candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination for 2020, and we now know that Joe Biden has promised to name a woman as his running mate (am I the only one secretly hoping for Michelle Obama?). This event has grown each year. Now in our fourth year, we welcome guests that are active in the ISBA and our committee and those learning about how great our organization is. Staci Balbirer and I were thrilled to co-chair the event with the help of Melissa Burkholder and look forward to the event again next year.
