ABOUT US

OUR MISSION & FOCUS

The CWBA is the largest diversity bar association in Colorado and is one of the biggest and most influential women’s bar associations in the country.  The CWBA even has its own lobbyist to promote the rights of women and children in Colorado.

The CWBA’s mission has remained the same since its inception in 1978: to promote women in the legal profession and the interests of women generally.  The vision of the CWBA's founders has resulted in decades of work promoting gender equality in the legal profession, preserving history, influencing legislation related to women and children, mentoring, granting scholarships for women law students through the CWBA Foundation,  fighting discrimination, influencing the selection of judges, and providing training and education. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are core values for the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, and we strive to incorporate these values into all aspects of our work including advocacy, communications, workplace environment, vendor selection, hiring, promotion and retention. We appreciate and value ideas that come from a diverse legal environment and want to bring diversity of thought, experience and expertise to everything we do. We believe that an inclusive bar provides an atmosphere that allows all individuals to attain their greatest potential and achieve the greatest benefits for clients.
