37 Los Angeles Working Parents Affinity Group The Los Angeles Working Parents Affinity Group hosted four events in 2023: ■ Baby Shower for Associate Matt Wyatt – The group hosted an in-office lunch and baby shower for Matt Wyatt to kick off the year with a fun social event. Group members played games like Baby Jeopardy and Mad Libs and had a good turnout. ■ Mother’s Day Lunch – Partners, associates, and staff members got together for a Mother’s Day lunch (all parents included). We enjoyed a nice lunch at Joey, and everyone was given a book of poems about motherhood. ■ A Candid Conversation About Being a Working Parent at MoFo – The group got together in the afternoon for some tea and sweet treats in a conference room in the LA office. Five LA associates spoke to five summer associates interested in learning more about what it is like to be a working parent at MoFo. We discussed everything from announcing you are expecting, to planning for your leave, to returning from leave, and navigating parenthood while back at work. The event was very well received and appreciated by the summer associates. ■ Family Holiday Party – Guests were invited to join a family holiday party with their children at the Kidspace Children’s Museum in Pasadena. The group rented a room and over 12 families joined the event, including several former MoFo associates and partners, now at other companies. Families enjoyed a bagel breakfast spread, a photobooth, and exploring the museum grounds. Kids were each sent home with an age-appropriate gift. It was a great event co-sponsored by the LA Women’s Affinity Group. 2023 Membership: approximately 15 attorneys Los Angeles Working Parents Affinity Group chair: Maya Harel
