Women's Leadership Initiative

Our Women’s Leadership Initiative is committed to fostering an environment that supports the professional advancement of women at Pullman & Comley, while also seeking to enrich the lives of women in our local communities.  The many women in positions of prominence within the firm provide leadership and mentoring, and our Women’s Leadership Initiative programming creates opportunities for our attorneys to forge relationships and share information with a larger community of women.

Pullman & Comley’s Women’s Leadership Initiative is committed to:

  • Advancing careers. For the firm’s women, we provide seminars, discussion programs and informal coaching, and we support the careers of women in our communities through our networking events and substantive discussion programs. 
  • Addressing concerns. Recent awareness-raising programs for clients and the public have addressed breast cancer, strategies for safeguarding and organizing personal documents and managing financial wealth.
  • Supporting women at large. We actively support numerous women- and family-focused organizations in our communities as board members and sponsors.
  • Having fun. We host events that provide women with opportunities to network and enjoy camaraderie.  For the past 14 years, we have held a networking tea for business women and women community leaders.
    • In 2009, in conjunction with our firm’s 90th anniversary, the theme of the Tea was “Women Making History: Celebrating the Accomplishments of Women over the Past 90 Years,” showcasing the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame.  In the spring of 2011, our guest at the Fairfield County Tea was the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease as the leading health threat for women.  The Women's Initiative also hosted a Tea in Hartford in October of 2011, spotlighting the work of the Backpack Program of the Junior League of Hartford, which provides backpacks filled with child-friendly, non-perishable foods to students at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School in Hartford.
