            Celebrating and Shaping Our Future


            Founded in 1974, the Metropolitan Richmond Women’s Bar Association (MRWBA) has been a pioneering force for women lawyers in the greater Richmond area for 50 years. We proudly serve the diverse interests of our members, including judges, in-house counsel, attorneys at firms of all sizes, solo practitioners, public service and governmental attorneys, non-practicing attorneys, paralegals, law students, and even some non-attorney professionals from our business community. Together, we represent the strength, dedication, and diversity that make MRWBA unique.
            Your Support of the $50 for 50 Years Campaign Makes a Difference!

            • Advancing Equality and Inclusion: We will continue our longstanding support for gender equality, fair representation, and diversity in the legal field, ensuring our profession reflects the community it serves.

            As we look toward the future, we need your help to sustain our legacy and ensure that the MRWBA continues to empower, inspire, and lead for years to come.
