For many women, balancing the demands of a legal career with the responsibilities of motherhood remains an ongoing challenge. At the Top Women Lawyers in Leadership CLE Summit, Tammy Banasek will join a distinguished panel that includes former U.S. and state senators and prominent plaintiffs’ and defendants’ attorneys to discuss the challenges and opportunities of combining motherhood and a legal career. Hosted by the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, the program will also feature discussions on women’s leadership, well-being, resilience, professional responsibility, and pathways to leadership roles, including a fireside chat with four female Illinois Supreme Court justices. More information about the Nov. 5, 2026, Summit is available on the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois’ website.
