MoForever Alumni News - Summer 2019

21 | MoForever Summer 2019 MoForever Women’s Network Hosts “Tasteful” Event The firm’s MoForever Women’s Network hosted its latest event on February 13 at New York’s City Winery, a unique, fully operational winery in the heart of SoHo. This was a wonderful opportunity for current and past generations of MoFo women to reconnect, network, and unwind. Attendees enjoyed a wine tasting, Mediterranean-inspired tapas, locally crafted artisanal charcuterie, and a cellar tour led by the winery’s sommelier, making it a truly memorable experience. MoForever Women’s Network was established in 2017 by the firm’s Women’s Strategy Committee Alumni Task Force to build local communities of women and grow networking, professional development, and social opportunities. Events planned by the committee also focus on advancing leadership skills and cultivating an executive mindset. In its inaugural year, the committee hosted a “Grit and Growth” professional development workshop in New York, where psychologist and executive coach Ellen Ostrow led a discussion on traits that help female attorneys advance at law firms. The first MoForever Women’s Network West Coast event took place last year in Palo Alto and reunited MoFo Women and alumnae from over 25 companies, law firms, universities, and government agencies.
