2026 WMC Mentor Registration

About Women’s Mentoring Circles

The Dallas Women Lawyers Association (“DWLA”) and the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (“DAYL”) are excited to roll out the 2026 Women’s Mentoring Circles (“WMC”) Program. For over a decade, WMC has been an award-winning initiative designed to support the development, advancement, and retention of women lawyers through mentorship, education, and community-building opportunities.

How Does WMC Work?

Participants are thoughtfully placed into mentoring circles that bring together women lawyers at various stages of their careers, guided by experienced mentors. Throughout the year, participants are required to attend four (4) large group events: an engaging kick-off session followed by three programs tailored to address key topics of interest to women lawyers and foster meaningful connections. Participants are also encouraged to meet with their circles outside of these events for more personal and informal interactions.
