 Gender Equality Committee Breakfast | Survey Results Previewed
Dennis Delay, a NH-based economist, will discuss the key findings of the second 10-year follow up to the NHBA Women in the Profession survey at the Gender Equality Breakfast on Friday, Feb. 12 at the 2010 NHBA Midyear Meeting.
At the request of the NHBA Gender Equality Committee, Delay is analyzing data from the Gender Equality Survey circulated this fall, and will be presenting a summary of its key findings. Delay likely may comment on how NH’s findings compare to trends noted in other recent surveys on the status of women in the legal profession. His report, as well as commentary and related articles, will form the theme for an upcoming issue of the NH Bar Journal. Delay has worked with the NH Bar on previous occasions, analyzing surveys on member services and speaking about the direction of the NH economy as it relates to the legal profession. He currently is Deputy Director of the NH Center for Policy Studies in Concord.
Hollman Award to be presented to Jennifer Parent
The breakfast also will feature the presentation of the NHBA Gender Equality Committee’s Philip S. Hollman Award, recognizing dedication to promoting respect and fair treatment for all members of the justice system.
The 2009 recipient of the Hollman Award is Jennifer Parent of McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton in Manchester. In a nomination letter Parent was lauded for "legal practice and community involvement [that] clearly show[s] that she is dedicated to promoting gender equality throughout the legal system." Parent is a founding member of the NH Women's Bar Association and was recently honored with the organization's Trailblazer award.
The award was established on the occasion of Judge Hollman’s retirement from the Superior Court in 2003. Judge Hollman was an original member of the Task Force on Women in the Bar in 1988 and has been a member of the Committee since that time.
