Why a Women's Caucus?
The Women's Caucus is responsible for recommending and developing education and networking programs as well as other activities of special interest to female members in the Association. The Caucus also helps to develop programs to stimulate female membership and participation in leadership roles.
The Women's Caucus Executive Committee selects a liaison from each state to serve as a liaison to the Caucus. A liaison's term is for one year (from the beginning of an Annual Convention to the end of the next). The Caucus meets periodically during the year to discuss issues that are of importance to the members. Elections for officers are held during the AAJ Annual Convention.
