Thanksgiving is Just a Few Days Away….

The Widener Harrisburg
Women’s Law Caucus is proud to present a panel discussion on:
Non-Traditional Legal Career Pathways
The panel members will discuss the interesting career paths that led them to their non-traditional legal careers, and provide some insight into how they have become so successful. The discussion will feature a facilitated ques-tion and answer session, followed by questions and answers from the audience, time permitting. At a time when
we all need to be “thinking outside of the box” in approaching our legal careers, you won’t want to miss this excel-lent opportunity to learn from and network with some very talented legal professionals.
Our esteemed panel features:
Kenya Faulkner, Esq., Inspector General of the Commonwealth of Penn-sylvania
Carolyn Thompson, Esq., Court Administrator, Dauphin County Courts
Dianne Nichols, Esq., Chief Counsel, House of Representatives Profes-sional Licensure Committee
Charlene Couch, Esq., Director, Bureau of Equal Employment Opportu-nity, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Moderator: Karen Durkin, Esq.
This event will be held Wednesday, March 21st from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in Room L204
