Message from the President
Sabsina Karimi | It is an incredible honor to serve as President of the Collier County Women’s Bar Association. When I first became involved with CCWBA, I expected to meet accomplished attorneys. What I also found was a community of women who celebrate one another’s successes, offers guidance during difficult moments, and genuinely wants to see each other thrive. That sense of connection is what makes this organization so special. Whether you are a seasoned attorney, newly admitted to the Bar, serving on the bench, working in government, private practice, or still a law student, CCWBA exists to support you. Our strength comes from the diversity of experiences, perspectives, and careers represented within our membership. We have an exciting year ahead with opportunities for professional development, meaningful networking, community service, mentorship, and simply spending time with colleagues who understand both the rewards and the challenges of practicing law. I encourage you to attend our monthly lunches, invite a colleague to join us, or introduce yourself to someone you’ve never met. Some of the most valuable relationships in this profession begin with a simple conversation. I also want to recognize the women who built this organization before us. Their vision created opportunities for generations of attorneys in Collier County, and I am grateful for the foundation they have laid. It is our privilege to continue that work by supporting one another and helping the next generation of women lawyers succeed. Thank you for your membership and your commitment to this organization. I look forward to serving alongside an exceptional Board of Directors and seeing all that we will accomplish together this year. I hope to see you at one of our upcoming events. Warmly, President Collier County Women’s Bar Association |
