We are proud to announce the rollout of Women of Wilson (WoW), an affinity group open to all individuals at the firm who identify as women—as well as their allies—that unifies existing women’s initiatives under one collaborative umbrella. WoW’s mission is to build a thriving community of individuals who identify as women through recruitment, retention, and promotion. 

Among other activities, WoW will pursue its mission through:

• Collaborating with others throughout the firm to facilitate, support, and promote women’s events and other relevant initiatives;
• Serving as a resource for women and facilitating the sharing of ideas through a resource repository;
• Supporting and enhancing women’s mentoring and sponsorship;
• Hosting events, including a Client Speaker Series; and
• Facilitating outreach to allies who support WoW’s mission.

WoW’s first project is the creation of Circles, groups of around 10 WoW members who will meet virtually to develop relationships, tackle topics of interest to their Circle, and support one another.

The members of the inaugural WoW committee are:

• Amy Caiazza (Partner, Washington, D.C.)
• Talin Gordnia (Associate, Los Angeles)
• Catherine Hartman (Associate, New York)
• Patrice Martin (Human Resources Manager, Washington, D.C.)
• Elizabeth Pond (Senior Manager, Firmwide Law School Recruiting, Austin)
• Myra Sutanto Shen (Partner, Palo Alto)
• Jaqueline Tokuda (Partner, Palo Alto)
• Stephanie Jensen (Of Counsel, Seattle)

If you have any questions or would like additional information about WoW, please contact Stephanie Jensen, Myra Sutanto Shen, or Jullia Carretta.
