Kansas Women Attorneys Association
About Kansas Women Attorneys Association
Based in Manhattan, Kansas, the Kansas Women Attorneys Association represents a unique community of diverse professionals united by a shared commitment to equality and justice. KWAA is not your typical bar association—its membership spans the globe and includes passionate volunteers, artists, athletes, scholars, and individuals from all walks of life who believe in the power of collective action. While many members practice law, the organization welcomes anyone dedicated to advancing women's rights and social justice. At its core, KWAA believes that its members are its greatest strength, and the organization takes pride in fostering meaningful personal and professional relationships within the Manhattan community and across Kansas. The association was founded on six core purposes: promoting efficient administration of justice with special attention to women's issues, encouraging women's advancement in the legal profession, increasing women's participation in professional leadership, promoting equality and social justice for all people, improving public-legal profession relations, and providing a supportive networking environment for women attorneys. KWAA adopted the Pillars of Professionalism and maintains a strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Members benefit from an inclusive community that celebrates their differences and recognizes that meaningful change comes from listening, learning, and working together toward a more just legal system.
