The renowned annual Aiming High Awards Luncheon, now in its 24th year, is the national fundraising program of the country’s first and longest serving legal advocacy organization advancing gender equality. By showcasing the accomplishments of the most successful and influential women in the business community, Legal Momentum positions them to serve as role models for women and girls across the U.S. Publicly recognizing and awarding women for their extraordinary accomplishments sends a powerful message that nothing is impossible when you aim high.
