Since 1893, the Austin Bar Association has only had 14 female Presidents and 8 minority Presidents. Of those minorities, only three are female. This July 1, the first Hispanic Female President took office. “The Council of Firsts” will bring together former and current leaders of the Austin Bar Association and other local legal organizations and discuss why we still have these Firsts and how we can make sure our leaders look more like our lawyers.
