Women in Law is the Atlanta legal community’s annual fundraiser to support the work of The Atlanta Women’s Foundation. AWF focuses on programs for women and girls and their efforts to move up and out of poverty. The event takes place at The Commerce Club on May 3, 2013 from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
The featured speaker is Laurel G. Bellows, a principal of The Bellows Law Group, P.C. in Chicago, who represents executives in the United States and internationally. Currently, Bellows is serving as President of the American Bar Association. She has also served as chair of the association’s policymaking House of Delegates (2006-2008), the second highest elected office in the ABA, and as chair of the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession.
Bellows’ work in the law profession and her community has been recognized by many publications. Crain’s Chicago Business lists Bellows among its annual list of Power Players. In 2006, she was named one of the 28 Power Lawyers in the City by Chicago Magazine. She was cited as one of Chicago’s 100 Women of Influence in 1996, also by Crain’s Chicago Business, and was listed among Working Mother Magazine’s 25 Most Influential Working Mothers in the country in 1997.
