2026 Pathfinders Event

Pathfinders’ Dinner and
TCWLA’s Fiftieth Year Celebration
This year’s celebration will be especially meaningful as we gather to honor our Pathfinders and celebrate 50 years of the Travis County Women Lawyers’ Association. The Pathfinders’ Dinner celebrates extraordinary women attorneys who have used their law degrees to make a lasting impact on the legal profession and our community. At the same time, we will celebrate five decades of TCWLA’s history, leadership, service, and commitment to supporting women in the legal profession.
Pathfinders are role models and trailblazers — local women with law degrees who are using, and have used, their degrees in a variety of ways to impact our community and the legal profession. Each year, TCWLA makes an effort to select and honor a panel of Pathfinders who represent a diversity of life and career experiences. We invite them to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives, creating a thoughtful and inspiring program that celebrates the many ways women lawyers make a difference.
This year, we invite you to join us for an evening of dinner, connection, inspiration, and celebration as we honor our 2026–2027 Pathfinders and commemorate 50 years of TCWLA. We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with you on November 6!
Early bird pricing until September 25, 2026 for individual tickets at $175; prices go up to $200 after 9/25/26. Buy individual tickets, table sponsorships and other sponsorships below.
