Ohio Women's Bar Foundation
As an important first step, the OWBA led to increased opportunities for women to develop leadership skills in the legal profession. However, not enough progress has occurred in increasing the number of women in those leadership roles. One of the OWBA’s core missions is to promote the leadership of women attorneys. To accomplish this mission, the OWBA has adopted a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson as on point with the OWBA’s goals,
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." The OWBA knows that women attorneys need to attain top leadership roles in greater numbers so they can leave a well-defined trail for other women to follow."
In 2010, the OWBA created the Ohio Women’s Bar Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity (“OWBF”) as the next step towards increasing the number of women entering leadership roles in the law. The OWBF is positioned to take the next step through its creation of a Leadership Institute and Law Student Scholarship.
