The yearly Women’s Leadership Conference returns with a special keynote speaker, Reshma Saujani, Founder and CEO, Moms First; Founder, Girls Who Code and best-selling author of Brave Not Perfect and Pay Up, the Future of Women and Work.
Saujani has spent more than a decade building movements to fight for women and girls’ economic empowerment, working to close the gender gap in the tech sector, and most recently advocating for policies to support moms impacted by the pandemic. Her newest book, Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work (and Why It’s Different Than You Think) presents a bold plan to address the burnout and inequity harming America’s working women today. Her influential TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than five million views globally.
For this special presentation, NJSBA President-Elect Christine A. Amalfe will moderate a keynote presentation with Ms. Saujani. Each attendee will receive a copy of Ms. Saujani’s latest book, Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work.

Program Agenda:
- 9:00 | Welcome from Christine A. Amalfe, Esq.
- 9:05 | Show Me the Money
From the moment we begin our legal careers, we understand that becoming an equity partner is a goal. Yet, we are rarely told exactly what an equity partner is and why we would want to be one. In this kickoff presentation, equity partners will discuss what that status really means, provide insight into how they achieved profitability and success and reveal what they look for in up-and-coming attorneys. - 10:20 | Break to Visit Vendor Tables
- 10:30 | Tips to Navigating Difficult Conversations about Pay
Talking about compensation is a difficult but important conversation to have in the profession, especially to keep women engaged at all levels. Learn insights and strategies to make those conversations productive and meaningful. This will include a discussion of your rights under the Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act. - 11:45 | Lunch and Keynote Speaker Reshma Saujani
- 1:15 | Branching Out – Why You Should Leave Your Comfort Zone Inside and Outside the Office, and How to Do It
We all prefer to stay in our bubbles, but doing so can stunt our ability to meet new people, make connections and get more business. Learn the importance of branching out – from moving practice groups, starting a new firm, moving to a new job or joining an organization outside of the office – and how bursting that bubble can lead to greater success. - 2:15 | Break to Visit Vendor Tables
- 2:25 | Lessons from Another Generation that Will Lead to Greatness
This is a unique opportunity to hear from women at various stages of their careers in one place. You will learn five things senior lawyers want their junior counterparts to know, along with five things Gen Z lawyers think the profession doesn’t understand about how they work. It is also a chance to learn about the issues facing women at several career points, their concerns and strategies they employ in the profession. - 3:55 | Wrap Up
- 4:00 | Conference Ends and Cocktail Party Begins
