  The Project for Attorney Retention is having its second annual conference next Thursday, March 5, 2009 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. This year, the PAR Conference will focus on how legal employers can continue their progress toward advancing and retaining women lawyers during the economic downturn. The topics to be addressed include: whether work/life balance is a viable concept in the wake of unprecedented layoffs; ensuring that hidden gender bias does not affect layoffs; efficiencies and efficacies to be gained in recognizing the connection between diversity and flexibility initiatives; and what law firms need to know about using their compensation systems to develop talented women lawyers.
  
  The conference will also feature a first look at the results of PAR's part-time partner study and roundtable discussions of best practices. Speakers will include James Potter, General Counsel, Del Monte Foods; Laura Stein, General Counsel, Clorox; Nicole Pierre, Public Affairs, UPS; Kate Fritz, Managing Partner, Fenwick and West; Lisa Horowitz, President, NAWL; Linda Oliver, Hogan & Hartson; María Meléndez, Sidley & Austin; Emily Finn, Latham & Watkins; Carter DeLorme, Jones Day; Christine Edwards, Winston & Strawn; and others.
  
  The cost to attend is $199 per person and registration is online at www.pardc.org/Conf09.
