Women's Initiative

AGG’s Women’s Initiative works hand-in-hand with the Diversity Committee. Its mission is to support and advance the professional development of women attorneys at AGG by achieving the following goals:

• To promote the retention and advancement of women attorneys by enhancing client development skills and helping women attorneys develop and/or expand their client base;
• To encourage women attorneys to seek leadership positions within the firm by exposing them to opportunities to develop firm leadership skills;
• To encourage women attorneys to contribute to and benefit from the economic viability of the firm;
• To enable women attorneys to become successful and contributing members of the firm while attaining a satisfactory balance between their legal careers and their personal aspirations; and
• To celebrate the accomplishments of our women attorneys.

AGG’s female attorneys are actively involved with organizations that promote and support women in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and our broader communities. The firm has maintained a long-term partnership with, and fully supports, the Atlanta Women’s Foundation, whose belief is that “together, we can increase self-sufficiency among women and girls and accomplish positive social change.” We actively participate in many other community organizations, including the following:
