Accepting the Founders’ Award, Majoras reminded the room of more than 80 of the importance of treating everyone well, doing good work and being a team player. Perhaps this view stems from her up - bringing in Meadville, Penn., or from her time before law school as a secretary and paralegal at Porter Wright. She also mod - els the importance of giving back to the profession by generously volunteering her free time to speak at the OWBA’s Leader - ship Institute and continuing legal educa - tion programs. Despite all of the strains on Majoras’ time, she prioritizes sharing her experience with other women. Special events like the Founders’ Gala could not take place without the careful organization of the OWBA’s Executive Director Elizabeth Krile and generous supporters.
