PROVIDENCE/BOSTON (July 16, 2012) – Taylor Duane Barton & Gilman recently launched a Women’s Initiative primarily focused on enhancing the business development and leadership skills of attorneys at the firm.
The Women’s Initiative will host periodic networking events and seminars for clients and contacts, and will seek out opportunities to collaborate with other organizations for community service projects.
Attorneys at the firm will meet monthly to discuss business networking, mentoring, leadership and other topics germane to the group.
Partners Tamara Smith Holtslag and Jennifer E. Burke are spearheading the initiative.
“Our goal is to augment the professionalism and networking capabilities of our attorneys,” said Smith Holtslag. “A formal effort like the Women’s Initiative will help us to establish benchmarks and meet specific objectives consistent with the firm’s unwavering commitment to outstanding client service.”
Burke added: “We are fortunate to have such dynamic, thoughtful attorneys at the firm. The Women’s Initiative promises to foster robust idea exchange in a group setting, and generate actionable ideas to help us continue to grow as a firm.”
