The Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network conversation series was launched as a means to encourage, inspire, and empower women in the legal community and beyond. In 2016-17, Jeannie Forrest, BWLN co-founder and former vice dean for development and leadership initiatives at NYU Law, interviewed alumnae across different disciplines and at different stages in their careers. We hope that listeners will continue to find the discussions relevant, useful, and insightful.
