The National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) 2010 March Business Meeting, was held on March 4 – 5, 2010, in Washington, DC at the Dupont Hotel.

This free conference for in-house counsel, featured the launch of an exciting new initiative, as well as sessions for in-house counsel and NAMWOLF law firm members.

Attendees participated in an informative session presented by Stephen Hanas, Senior Counsel, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; an In-House Best Practices Session presented by Jason Brown, PepsiAmericas and Andrea Clark-Smith, American Airlines; annual meeting planning; and many networking opportunities.

Registrants of the meeting included:  Accenture, Time Warner Cable, PepsiAmericas, Prudential, American Airlines, FDIC, ALM Media, Choice Hotels, Ocwen Financial, Banco Popular, A. O. Smith, Amtrak and Sodexo.

I was first introduced to NAMWOLF last year, via a Direct Message Tweet I received from a graphic designer, whose sister was affiliated with them.  The organization is committed to providing opportunities for minority and women-owned law firms, so is indeed a privilege for me to support this year’s Business Meeting.

Members of the program have a committed to set a goal of eventually expending a minimum of 5% of your outside counsel budget with certified minority and women-owned law firms.
