Executive Director Message

We continue to seek grant opportunities and welcome your ideas. If you have a potential project with a national exposure, please contact me.

t has been exciting to experience in-person national and district events. As you will read in this issue of Counterbalance, the Midyear Meeting was a great time of education and fellowship. We also encountered every season in three days, from hot and sunny, to rain and on the last day snow!

Many Districts have begun their inperson programming and making an impact in their communities. The 2022 Annual Conference Committee is meeting regularly to bring you the cutting-edge education NAWJ is known for, and a diverse selection of entertainment!

Internally, we have developed a muchrequested Master Calendar to give you access to committee meetings. Simply click this link and contact the committee chair of any meetings you would like to attend. An online form is coming soon to make it simpler for you to join a committee. Now that the courts have re-opened, we know that you are busier than ever, and we want to make volunteer opportunities as seamless as possible.

The NAWJ Legacy Society launched this spring, and I am grateful to those of you who are already participating. This program will ensure NAWJ is sustainable into the future. We continue to seek grant opportunities and welcome your ideas. If you have a potential project with a national exposure, please contact me.

This month marks my one-year anniversary as your permanent executive director. I am thankful for your support and encouragement and for the opportunity to serve NAWJ.

Laurie Hein Denham, CAE
