District Governors attend six Board meetings per year at locations throughout the state.  They also participate in committees, help plan events, recruit new CWL members, and assist in running the organization.

Why should you run:
 Because CWL’s clout and effectiveness grow with every smart, energetic woman who gets involved;
 Because you will get to know nice, smart, committed women from all over the state;
 Because you will learn a lot about California – its government, its geography, and how to get things done;
 Because it is important that every district have a representative on the Board of Governors.
 If you don’t run, who will?  Don’t sit back and wait for other women to run.  If you are committed to CWL’s future and the future of women lawyers in California, send in your application.
