  • Save the Date: Judge Gertner Book Signing and Wine and Cheese Reception
    UNH School of Law
    Concord, NH
    Oct 11, 2011

    In April 1994, with twenty years of groundbreaking and controversial cases behind her, Nancy Gertner was appointed to serve as a Federal Judge in Massachusetts. In Defense of Women: Memoirs of an Unrepentant Advocate, Gertner reflects upon her career as an outspoken, “outsider” lawyer, representing criminal and civil cases focused on women’s rights, civil liberties, and breaking down the gender barriers of the 1970s and 80s. In Defense of Women chronicles one woman’s revolutionary career at a time when the world around her was trying to hold her back. For young lawyers looking for guidance, Gertner writes that, when it comes to becoming a judge, there is “no right way, no clear path,” noting that, “the issue is less where you start than where you end up.” The lessons she imparts about fighting for what you believe in, and striving against all odds to create the life you want for yourself, ring as true for women in the 21st century as they did in the 1970s. Gertner wrote the book to record those struggles. “I wanted to memorialize these stories, if only for my kids, my friends, myself,” she writes. “I had been there, done that. It had been quite a ride; important lessons had been learned personally and professionally; and maybe—just maybe—some good had been done.” Copies of Judge Gertner's book will be available for purchase at the event.

Ricker Achievement Award. The Ricker award honors an outstanding woman lawyer in New Hampshire who has achieved professional excellence or paved the way to success for other women lawyers, advanced opportunities for women in the profession, or performed exemplary public service on behalf of women. This year, the Ricker award will be presented to Lucy C. Hodder, Esquire. Attorney Hodder is a shareholder in the health care practice group of Rath, Young and Pignatelli, P.C. She has been named one of The Best Lawyers in America by Woodward White, as well as a New England Super Lawyer for health care law. She is a board member of the Women's Policy Institute and was appointed to the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Women beginning in 1998, and chaired the commission from 2003 to 2004. In support of the nomination of Attorney Hodder for the Ricker Award, one of her nominators wrote: "In addition to her strong commitment to her clients, Lucy is equally devoted to advancing the causes of women to improve their health, welfare and well-being and to increase the likelihood of women's success and achievement in all avenues of life. She has been an outstanding mentor and role model for younger women attorneys, both within the firm and around the State." Join us for a night of recognition of the achievements of Attorney Hodder, as well as a night of networking with our members. The reception is from 5:30-7:30p.m. and is open to the public.

  • Communication Styles Workshop
    Nixon Peabody
    Manchester, NH
    Sep 16, 2010

    How well you communicate can influence how others view your work, your performance and your prospects for career mobility. Because we all communicate differently, it is important to understand the variations in style and learn new ways to communicate with others that will ensure productive and effective working relationships. In this course, you will be able to identify your own personal communication style using the Boost methodology while learning how to maximize your strengths and remedy areas that need improvement. The Benefits: * Improve power of persuasion and influence; awareness of body language and non-verbal signals. * Identify personal communication barriers and develop strategies to avoid misunderstandings and overcome difficult situations. * Develop critical listening skills and learn about your own listening behavior and responding style. The Results: * Positive interactions and productive relationships with peers and colleagues * Confidently express ideas and solutions while disarming those with different viewpoints. When you gain an understanding of how your personal communication style is perceived by others, you can learn to tailor your behavior to create positive and productive relationships in the workplace. Now is the time to take the driver's seat in your own career! Workshop begins at 5:00p.m. Refreshments provided.
