SWCF offers SWAN to connect female attorneys around estate planning and related topics. Every other month, SWAN provides an opportunity for attendees to network and learn. SWAN is offered at no cost by SWCF.

SWAN began after a lawyer remarked that there weren’t many opportunities for women to network and exchange ideas related to estate planning. SWCF decided that it could help create that space and those opportunities. SWAN has been holding events ever since – and if you are a female lawyer who deals with estate-planning issues, we’d love for you to join us!

For more information, or to add your name to our event email list, please email SWCF’s Advisor Relations Director, Risa Gross, at rgross@southwestcf.org.
