Womens White Collar Defense Association

THE WOMEN'S WHITE COLLAR DEFENSE ASSOCIATION (WWCDA) PROMOTES THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS OF WOMEN ATTORNEYS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THE REPRESENTATION OF CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS FACING GOVERNMENT ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND IN INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS, COMPLIANCE AND ETHICS MATTERS. WWCDA PROMOTES DIVERSITY IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION, ORGANIZES BUSINESS ACTIVITIES TO FACILITATE NETWORKING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN IN THE PRACTICE AND PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON THE DEFENSE OF GOVERNMENT ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS, COMPLIANCE AND ETHICAL ISSUES. WWCDA WAS FOUNDED IN RESPONSE TO A SEVERE LACK OF WOMEN IN WHITE COLLAR PRACTICE AND IN EXISTING PROFESSIONAL WHITE COLLAR ORGANIZATIONS. SUCH PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE CRUCIAL IN PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN THE PRACTICE, PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND NETWORKING TO DEVELOP BUSINESS IN THE PRACTICE AREA.
