In early August, Corporate Counsel announced the 2017 list of Transformative Leaders—those women general counsel who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and business acumen as they have guided their organizations through often treacherous roads to achieve success. These Transformative Leadership honorees stand out because they are business strategists, complex problem-solvers, and of course, great lawyers. And as important (especially to them) is that they are great people-leaders—they care more about the success of the team than their individual success.
On Oct. 10, we announced the winners at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C., during the Women, Influence & Power in Law conference (WIPL). In-depth profiles of the winners will be published in the January issue of Corporate Counsel.
Congratulations again to all these amazing women.
