Fostering an environment where women attorneys can thrive and mentor the next generation of women leaders
Snow Christensen & Martineau believes providing our clients with excellent legal services includes supporting the advancement of women in the legal profession. To this end, Snow Women was created as a group of women lawyers to combine their experiences and expertise to promote the success of women attorneys and better serve the clients of Snow Christensen & Martineau.
Specifically, Snow Women was created with five main goals in mind:
- Recruit and retain top female attorneys in the state;
- Meet the diverse needs of clients;
- Facilitate open discussion and resolution of women’s issues within our firm;
- Foster an environment where women attorneys can thrive and mentor the next generation of women leaders; and
- Promote and support women professionals and stakeholders in our local and state-wide communities.
Snow is proud to have attorney Ruth Shapiro recently appointed as the firm Vice President by the Board of Directors. She also serves as Chair of the Tort and Insurance Practice Group and sits on the firm’s Business Development Advisory Committee.
Former long time SCM attorney Camille Johnson who recently retired to fulfill a high level leadership position in her church’s worldwide women’s organization, served as President of the Firm.
