GABWA Regions Throughout Georgia
GABWA is proud to be a statewide organization with active regional chapters in Albany, Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah. We aim to serve as a valuable resource for our members throughout the State of Georgia and actively seek the support and input of our regional members in strategizing and executing on programs that better serve them and their communities.
ALBANY
The Albany Region strives to impart diversity in the Southwest region of the state by promoting the mission and objectives of GABWA and serving the interests of black women attorneys, children and the African American community at large. On a localized level, the Albany Region works within the community as a cohesive group to further the common interests of its members and be a voice for the under-represented populous in this area.

The Columbus Chapter has demonstrated this commitment through programs that range from feeding the homeless, to hosting a prom dress drive for area teenage girls, to co-sponsoring the first annual Law Day 4 Girls with the local chapter of Girl’s, Inc., where the Chapter hosted 50 middle and high school girls at the Government Center/Courthouse.
The Columbus Chapter is also proud to have a close working relationships with the other bar associations in the area such as the Columbus Bar Association, Georgia Association for Women Lawyers, and Fountain City Bar Association. We actively seek to collaborate with other bar associations on specialized programs such as the 2014 Lunch and Learn on Leadership with State Bar President Patrise Perkins-Hooker.
Additionally, the Chapter works closely with the local office of Georgia Legal Services on various pro bono initiatives. The Columbus Chapter looks forward to increasing its membership through new and innovative programs, and strengthening ties with future lawyers at Columbus State University and Jones Flaukner Law School.
