Women Lawyers of Alameda County

💕✨ Our WLAC Galentine’s celebration was another huge success! Attorneys and legal professionals from across Alameda County came together for an evening filled with connection, community, and a whole lot of fun. ✨💕

This year’s event featured great food, lively conversation, and our interactive craft and jewelry-making area, where guests created friendship bracelets and shared some creative laughs. Galentine’s also served as a special moment for WLAC as we officially swore in our new Board, marking the start of an exciting year ahead for our organization.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night so memorable. We’re grateful for this incredible community and can’t wait to continue building connections with you at our upcoming events! 💖

We want to thank Judge Sandford-Smith for swearing in our new Board and we want to thank our partners and collaborators:
