OWLS Accepting Nominations for 2013 Workplace Leader Award
Nominations Due June 7, 2013

The OWLS Workplace Leader Award recognizes a legal employer making innovative and effective efforts to promote one or more of the following values:
- a healthy balance between work and life;
- acquiring and maintaining a diverse workforce with diverse leadership; and
- maximizing opportunities for women and minorities to succeed in the workplace and advance to positions of influence and leadership.

We are not looking for an employer to exemplify all of these virtues. Rather, the award will recognize a specific program, policy, or project that is successfully addressing one or more of the concerns outlined above. We particularly want to encourage applications from in-house legal departments, government employers, and employers who are making strides in recruiting and retaining women and minority lawyers and equipping them for leadership.

The 2013 award recipient will be honored during OWLS' Fall CLE on October 18, 2013 at The Governor Hotel in Portland.

Nomination information
Nominations should include: information that will help the award committee evaluate the specific program, policy, or project of the employer; the markers of success for that program, policy, or project; and names of people who can be contacted for further information.

Nominations must be received via email by 5:00 pm June 7, 2013 and should be sent to OWLS Transformation Committee Chair, Dana Forman, danaformanlaw@gmail.com
