1 Dear Potential Sponsor: On Wednesday, May , the Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) Commission on Women in the Profession (WIP) will hold its 25 th Annual Conference at the Hershey Lodge & Convention Center, in Hershey, PA. This year s event will celebrate WIP s successful 25 years as one of the PBA s most active committees, and we will recognize those female pioneers who have impacted not only women s roles in our Association, but in the overall profession many firsts for women have occurred in the last 25 years. Former PBA President H. Robert Fiebach, who is credited with the creation of WIP, will join us and highlight how far women have come in the last 25 years. The conference is being held in conjunction with the 2018 PBA Annual Meeting and will be attended by hundreds of lawyers and judges from across the Commonwealth. Our theme for the 2018 conference is Empowering Women. We are pleased to have Kelly Stapleton, Managing Director and National Practice Leader of the Unsecured Creditor Group at Alvarez & Marsal in New York, as our luncheon keynote speaker. Ms. Stapleton has been a pioneer of women's leadership in the financial sphere, handling and managing high profile, high stakes cases in a field where few women practiced. She was the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed by the U.S. Attorney General to manage five state offices, including Pennsylvania and New York, and all bankruptcies filed in those states. Ms. Stapleton has over 20 years experience conducting investigations as a prosecutor, regulator and financial advisor. She is a former ADA in the Philadelphia District Attorney s office, and a frequent national speaker and author on restructuring businesses. She has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and on Bloomberg. Other programming for the day includes a Federal Judges Panel discussion focusing on how women have made inroads into the judiciary; a segment exploring how to get More Women at the Table as First Chair Trial Counsel ; as well as a panel discussion regarding Women in Government/Leadership Positions. In addition, the Commission will recognize the winners of the 2018 Anne X. Alpern Award and the 2018 Lynette Norton Award. We invite you to join us and be acknowledged as a sponsor of this event.
