The Transformative Leadership Awards Dinner, held Monday night in Chicago, honored about a dozen female attorneys who have helped other women gain leadership roles in the legal world. The awards not only celebrated the in-house and law firm attorneys' own immense accomplishments, but also the work they have done to mentor and economically empower other women in law.
“[Thanks] for focusing on not only the 'what' but the 'who' and the 'how,'” said Rose Ann Scanlon, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals' executive director for commercial operations. Scanlon won the Pamela L. Carter Award for her commitment to success through excellent business results, her pioneering spirit and her love for family and friends.
Law firms were also recognized for their commitment to gender equality. Faegre & Benson was recognized for electing three women lawyers to the firm's management committee, among other examples of dedication to diversity.
