Do you have clothes you’ve been meaning to drop off with the Goodwill? Bring them to the August conference instead, and help benefit ADLA’s

philanthropic efforts! The Women in the Law section will hold a clothing drive during the conference, and all donations received will go to a local organization that works with survivors of human trafficking. The aim of the drive is to collect professional and business-style clothing items to

provide to women who need appropriate attire for job interviews or who are otherwise trying to break into the workforce. We will be accepting

gently used (or new) items such as blazers, skirts, pants, shoes, blouses, belts, etc. Watch for details in the weekly e-newsletter.
