Women in Leadership Series

As part of DOC’s ongoing Women in Leadership series, we were honored to host the newest member of our Board of Trustees, Ava Lias-Booker, Esq. A partner at McGuireWoods LLP, an international law firm, Ava leads the litigation practice of the firm’s Baltimore office. She is the past chair of the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and its Diversity Action Council.

Our yearly Women in Leadership series is a DOC Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Council project. It’s a fantastic opportunity for our team to learn from and be inspired by women who are accomplished leaders and strong advocates for women working to grow and advance their careers. Our past speakers have included Courtney Nelson, Pam Kessler, Peggy Troy, Marissa Orr, and Audra Cunningham.

Two DOC team members moderated the session: Brad Page, SVP – General Counsel and Jen Manna, VP – Associate General Counsel and a DEI Council founding member.

Thank you to Ava, Jen, Brad, and all our team members who contributed to such an engaging and productive discussion!
