"As I write this, I am in the second year of my two-year term as Chair of the WLF. It has been especially interesting having to carry out my entire term during a global pandemic, and dealing with unique challenges that had not occurred before in the history of the WLF." - Rose Keith, QC, WLF Chair

"Despite the challenges we managed to stay connected with our members and continued to offer a full suite of programming. This was due to our executive and committee volunteers who embraced the challenges this year presented, remained flexible, and were innovative and creative in their approaches to make sure that despite the distances between us, we found ways to continue to support and enhance the stature of women in our profession. I am so grateful to you all. Thank you."
