About Central Illinois Women's Bar Association
Serving the Rushville, Illinois community since 1982, the Central Illinois Women's Bar Association is a charitable and educational organization dedicated to empowering women in law and advancing justice in the region. CIWBA's mission centers on promoting the full participation of women in the practice of law and judiciary while fostering meaningful connections among women attorneys in diverse career paths. The organization is deeply committed to community service, actively supporting local organizations that provide legal assistance to victims of domestic violence. Beyond professional development, CIWBA creates memorable experiences for the next generation through its Take Your Child to Work Day event held each April, featuring an engaging mock trial with Judge Myerscough that introduces young people to the legal system in an interactive and entertaining way. As a nonprofit organization, CIWBA ensures that all income and property are dedicated exclusively to its charitable and educational mission, with no private benefit to individual members or officers. The association partners regularly with other local bar associations, including the Sangamon County Bar Association and the Government Bar Association, to maximize its community impact. Through mentorship programs, networking events, and direct support for nonprofits serving vulnerable populations, CIWBA embodies a commitment to both professional excellence and social responsibility, making it a vital force for positive change in Central Illinois.
