A night to share the inspiring stories, celebrate the impactful achievements, and recognize the dynamic general counsel-both men and women-who have worked for the advancement of women in the legal profession.
With four different awards, WIHCL’s Horizon Awards Dinner will honor general counsel—both men and women—who have mentored women who have gone on to become general counsel, as well as women general counsel who have mentored women partners in law firms.
The Golden Path Award
The Golden Path Award is presented to a woman general counsel whose commitment and dedication to working with women outside counsel is demonstrated by giving them a substantial amount of business, which in turn, has had a positive impact on the career paths of the outside counsel.
