Western New York Chapter of Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York
About Western New York Chapter of Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York
Based in Buffalo, NY, the Western New York Chapter of the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York represents a community of over 400 dedicated legal professionals committed to advancing women in both the legal profession and society. For more than 30 years, this chapter has been an integral part of the region's professional landscape, supporting qualified women in attaining leadership positions across government, law firms, and business.
As a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit professional association, WBASNY's Western New York Chapter operates on the belief that genuine advancement requires all voices and views to be heard on matters important to the profession and community. The organization recognizes that challenges remain—women remain underrepresented among equity partners at law firms, in the judiciary, and in high-profile public positions—and works to address these systemic issues through coordinated action and collective advocacy.
The Chapter cultivates professional and personal growth through meaningful networking events, educational programs, and strategic collaborations with like-minded organizations. Members engage with sister chapters across New York State to effect change on matters of statewide, national, and international significance. Over four decades, WBASNY has supported many of New York's most distinguished female leaders and contributed to notable advancements throughout the state. The organization invites legal professionals in the Buffalo area to join in the pursuit of justice and equality for all.
