Womens' Initiative

Research shows that minority women face unique challenges in the legal community. To ameliorate these challenges, SABA GB is proactively creating a space to nurture and develop the careers of South Asian women attorneys. Our initial programming included the formation of Women’s Lunch Circles, which meet on a quarterly basis, and a special workshop on effective public speaking, which was generously sponsored by Own the Room, a communications training company. SABA GB hopes to continue this valuable initiative for years to come.

Partnership and Engagement

The Partnership and Engagement Committee fosters relationships and drives collabortive iniatives within and beyond SABA GB. This committee is responsible for building strategic alliances with other affinity bar organizations and community groups, hosting networking opportunities, community engagement,and helping members of our community share resources with one another.
