Successful people share common characteristics that drive them on their road to success, including keeping a positive mindset and being comfortable taking on new challenges. No matter what your definition of success is, the National Association of Women Lawyers’ Twelfth General Counsel Institute offers a roadmap for getting to where you want to go.

In today’s ever changing legal landscape, we invite you to advance your career by securing success through agility and creativity. Gain insight into the hottest topics in the law. Acquire knowledge or enhance your proficiency about the most talked about labor and employment matters. Take a deep dive into today’s regulatory and compliance issues. Tap into technology and embrace the challenges and changes that accompany this ever-evolving area of the law.

At GCI 12, you will be asked to think outside the box and blaze your own trail of success by articulating your own vision, laying your own foundation, and growing both personally and professionally. Through powerful stories, substantive legal workshops, and GCI’s unique open exchange of ideas, GCI 12 will empower you to embrace opportunities with agility and creativity and gain leadership skills and business acumen on your pathway to success.
