'Glass Ceilings' and Women in Leadership Roles
In October 2013 at ALFA International's 2013 Labor & Employment Practice Group Seminar, Kathleen Peahl, a Partner at Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, Manchester, NH, led a panel entitled “Glass Ceilings: Fact or Fiction.” The wide-ranging discussion introduced statistics suggesting that women still are not reaching the highest level of leadership in law firms and Fortune 500 companies, as compared with their male counterparts. Topics included a critical look at the so-called “glass ceiling,” including challenges and legal pitfalls faced by law firms and companies as they strive to integrate women into the upper echelons of management.
On the heels of that panel, the participants exchanged periodic e-mails following up on their discussion, shifting the focus from how firms defeat the “glass ceiling” to the state of women in leadership roles, and how these can be reached more regularly. In addition to moderator Peahl, participants included Byrona Maule, Co-Chair of Labor & Employment, Phillips Murrah, Oklahoma City, OK; Sarah Powell, General Counsel, Advance Auto Parts, Roanoke, VA; Kymberly Wellons, Associate General Counsel ' Litigation Compliance, MWV, Richmond, VA; Elaine Moss, Principal, Brown & James, St. Louis, MO; and Vickie Carcaise, Corporate Counsel, National Beverage, Fort Lauderdale, FL.
