WILLPOWER
ALFN's Ninth Annual Women in Legal Leadership "WILL" Summit
Get ready for WILLPOWER 2026, ALFN’s Ninth Annual Women in Legal Leadership (“WILL”) Summit, returning April 21–22 to The Highland Dallas. This year’s theme, Finding Joy in Leadership, is about replenishing energy, reconnecting with purpose, and building the practical skills to lead teams through change with clarity and care.
You’ll experience a thoughtfully curated program that blends dynamic general sessions with structured networking. Our keynote speaker, Amberly Lago, will share Finding Joy Through the Journey: Embracing Every Moment, a powerful message on cultivating gratitude, presence, and resilience no matter where you are in life’s journey. Every attendee will receive a copy of her new book, Joy Through the Journey: Shift Your Mindset, Embrace the Present Moment, and Cultivate Resilience Through Life’s Ups and Downs.
We’ll close Day 1 with a joint WILLPOWER & CORE Summit evening experience, including a combined reception, dinner, and silent auction supporting our returning WILLPOWER charity partner, Patriot PAWS. Join us for candid conversations and leave with fresh ideas, strengthened relationships, and renewed inspiration to lead with purpose.
Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of WILLPOWER 2026!
