Diversity & Inclusion
Women In Networking (WIN) Group
At Bricker & Eckler, we have a longstanding history of electing women to leadership positions.
Our Women in Networking (WIN) group celebrates and encourages the talents, attributes and experiences that women attorneys bring to the firm. WIN also provides opportunities for professional women to network in mutually beneficial ways and to support the needs of women and families in our communities.
WIN is active in the following ways:
- Hosting periodic community-awareness charitable events to allow lawyers, clients and friends of the firm to participate in philanthropic activities and foster professional relationships with other local women
- Offering educational opportunities, including a “Breaking Down Barriers” program on cyberbullying, relationship violence and body image concerns and “ROX on the Green” self-defense instruction
- Supporting the involvement of women lawyers on boards and community organizations
- Supporting community organizations, such as the Ohio Women’s Bar Association and Foundation, Women for Economic and Leadership Development (WELD) and the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio
