Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association helped Michele Mirman early and late in her career
Bar associations play different roles for attorneys from personal and professional, to helping some advocate for others and their communities, and some it is merely a way for them to keep up with their continuing legal education credits.
For Michele Mirman, the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) helped her as a young female attorney breaking into what was then a largely male dominated profession. It also helped her nearly 40 years later in life when she needed an outlet to help her get through personal issues.
“It was so important for me to become president of the Women’s Bar because it put me in a position where I could help and mentor other women. To teach them to support themselves, teach them about jobs, about negotiating, writing resumes, personal finance and investing.”
