Jane Paulson, Hon. Betty Roberts, Maureen Leonard
The Foundation is pleased to offer this grant in honor of the late Justice Betty Roberts, who created an enduring legacy for her contributions to women in the legal profession.
The grant is available to people who identify as women and/or as members of other historically disadvantaged groups who are board members of an Oregon legal association and desire to attend a leadership conference but do not have sufficient conference funds available through the organization that they serve.
An eligible conference must be publicized and open to regional, national or international attendees, and must focus on enhancing the attendee’s leadership skills in the legal profession or as a non-profit board member.
Preference is given to individuals with a demonstrated financial need. Applicants and recipients must be active members in good standing of the Oregon State Bar.
There is no deadline for submission of an application.
Apply for the grant using the online application form.
In 2009, Hon. Betty Roberts introduces Sarah Weddington at the OWLS Fall CLE.
