UT Minority Women Pursuing Law Professional Clothing Drive
2024-11-01 08:00 - 17:00 | TX
Your CS Committee is off and running. We are participating in a professional clothing drive. We just need you all to go through your closets to find professional clothing in good condition that you would love to gift to help the UT MWPL members. Please ask any friends or colleagues to do the same. The purpose of this drive is to provide MWPL members with access to professional clothing, so that they may walk into spaces while pursuing a career in law with confidence. This sounds like a mission we can all get behind.
The drive will be held on November 6th, 2024. Our job is to collect donations and have them to our collection sites in time for the committee to get them to MWPL. Please aim to have them to collections sites by November 1st. These donations may consist of professional attire, including but not limited to: blazers, pants, skirts, shoes, blouses, suits, and dresses. Please be sure that any donations gifted are in good condition.
MWPL is not a nonprofit organization, they do not offer tax exemption forms for any donations. However, our support and presence are incredibly valuable to the MWPL community.
Currently, we have two collection sites. If you would like to offer up a collection site, we have north and central covered so south would be optimal if anyone has the ability. Please contact Beth Payan with any questions. beth.payan@traviscounty.tx.gov.

Please join us on November 20, 2024, from 12-1 p.m., for Leadership for Lawyers: Building Critical Skills for Effective Leadership, presented by Mindy Gulati
As lawyers, we anticipate, plan, and prepare for all that our clients throw at us, and we are good at it! Then along the way, we as we grow in our career, suddenly we are thrown into a leadership role — something that many lawyers struggle with because there is a lack of foundational training and development throughout most of our legal careers. We are experts in the law but are often underprepared for the role of managing people.
Mindy Gulati is an attorney and a strategic advisor to law firms and companies around the country assisting them in creating more effective leaderships teams and organizational cultures. In this CLE, she will build your toolkit for effective leadership at all stages of your career. Whether you are currently a leader or not, this CLE will explore how to build your skills and competencies around key leadership fundamentals, including courage, curiosity, collaboration and communication, along with practical tools for giving and receiving feedback to enhance personal and professional development.
The CLE presentation will be held in person at McGinnis Lochridge (1111 W. 6th St., Bldg. B, Ste. 400, Austin, TX 78703) and via Zoom.
