Our Women’s Leadership Initiative is committed to fostering an environment that supports the professional advancement of women at Pullman & Comley, while also seeking to enrich the lives of women in our local communities. The many women in positions of prominence within the firm provide leadership and mentoring, and our Women’s Leadership Initiative programming creates opportunities for our attorneys to forge relationships and share information with a larger community of women.
Pullman & Comley’s Women’s Leadership Initiative is committed to:
- Supporting women at large. We actively support numerous women- and family-focused organizations in our communities as board members and sponsors.
- Addressing concerns. Community awareness-raising programs for clients and the public have addressed heart health and breast cancer, strategies for safeguarding and organizing personal documents, managing financial wealth and encouraging inclusion, empowering women and inspiring action.
- Advancing careers. For the firm’s women, we provide seminars, discussion programs and informal coaching, and we support the careers of women in our communities through our networking events and substantive discussion programs.
- Networking opportunities. We host events that provide women professionals and community leaders with opportunities to network and enjoy camaraderie.
The Women's Networking Events, held in Fairfield County for more than 20 years and in Hartford for nearly 10 years, showcase the important work of nonprofits, including the Children's Law Center, Dignity Grows, the Hartford Public Library, the Norma F. Pfriem Urban Outreach Initiative, Mercy Learning Center, the Connecticut Women's Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF), the Center for Family Justice and the YWCA Hartford Region.
