#WBASNYGives
2022-11-29 08:00 - 17:00
As part of our continued commitment to fundraising, we are excited
to announce our #WBASNYGives fundraising event to be held in the spirit
of #GivingTuesday – a National day of giving – November 29, 2022.
Donations will be accepted during the entire month of November 2022
and will remain open through January of 2023. All donors will be acknowledged in our “Donor Roll.”
This year special recognition* will be given to #WBASNYGives Donors who graciously support WBASNY’s mission as follows:
SAPPHIRE DONOR – $500.00 and over
DIAMOND DONOR – $250.00 and over
RUBY DONOR – $50.00 and over
PEARL DONOR – $5.00 and over
*Sapphire and Diamond donors will receive a free WBASNY baseball cap
As part of this fundraising event, we are seeking contributions in support of, and in solidarity with, WBASNY’s mission to:
“Promote the advancement of the status of women in society and of women in the legal profession; to promote the fair and equal administration of justice; and to act as a unified voice for its members with respect to issues of statewide, national and international significance to women generally and to women attorneys in particular.”
More than ever, the united amplification of women’s voices is needed to cause the change we want to see in the world, and to push for progress in our profession and in society. Lawyers are uniquely qualified to effectuate that change, as leaders in the court system, in the legislature, and in our communities. As the second largest bar association in the State, nearly 4,000 members strong, WBASNY, and we as its attorney members, has the numbers, the skillset, and the will to be the beacon illuminating the way. Your support keeps that light burning.
Here’s how …

#WBASNYGives direct access to effect legislation impacting women and children, and society as a whole, through lobbying efforts and our thoughtful responses to important issues. Our organization is increasingly called upon by legislators and the Governor’s office to offer guidance and opinion on legislation impacting millions of lives.
#WBASNYGives the support and camaraderie of a network of nearly 4,000 attorneys, mostly women, who are in the unique position of knowing or empathizing with the specific challenges faced by women in this demanding profession. Because of WBASNY, we know the names and faces of the women pioneers on whose shoulders we stand as we offer a hand to pull the next generation up. WBASNY means that no woman attorney across the State has to face her challenges alone.
#WBASNYGives membership benefits such as free CLE opportunities, discounts on financial services and financial planning opportunities, strategic partners for insurance, discounts on office supplies and services, discounts on legal research providers, and discounts on travel planning. All simply by virtue of being a member.
#WBASNYGives the opportunity to serve on over 40+ committees on the state-level to work on issues that each member feels particularly called to address with the collective strength of this organization and the expertise of its members supporting your passion.
#WBASNYGives amicus briefs on cases of great significance to our members and mission, ensuring that our opinions and mission are heard and advanced through the court system.
#WBASNYGives NOTHING without the STRENGTH and SUPPORT of its MEMBERS.

Your contribution to WBASNY helps us to continue this important work, and gives us the ability to do even more. Thank you for your support and your dedication to this mission.

Unpacking Evidence Base Practices for the Child Welfare and SUD Practioners
2022-12-07 12:30 - 14:30
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
UNPACKING EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES FOR THE CHILD WELFARE AND SUD PRACTIONERS
Presenters
Jen Allen, Supervisor – Ulster County Department of Social Services
Dr. Marian Silverman, Child-Parent Psychotherapy
Allison Contento, Healthy Families New York Home Visiting Program
Nicole Wang, Evidence Based Treatment Dissemination Center
Ralph Wolf, Esq., Office for Justice Initiatives
Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves identifying, assessing, and implementing strategies that are supported by scientific research. State child welfare agencies are increasingly aware of the need to focus their resources on programs that have demonstrated results, especially for achieving outcomes as measured in the Federal Child and Family Services Review process. In addition, many State legislators are calling for information about whether the programs they fund work, and foundations and other funders often require that grantees employ evidence-based program models. To provide evidence that their services achieve positive outcomes, administrators, program managers, supervisors, and frontline workers must understand how evidence-based practice applies to child welfare services and be aware of the resources and tools available to assist them.

This project is supported by Grant# 2020-AR-BX-K002 awarded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.
