MAMAS was started in October 2006 as an informal group of attorney mothers. Its founders, Rachel Black and Lorraine Lewis Phillips, recognized that attorney mothers face unique challenges in light of the demands of the profession, such as longer work hours, pressure to generate business and network, and difficult travel schedules.  Since its founding, MAMAS has grown dramatically and has served to inspire the founding of sister organizations in cities across the country, including San Diego, www.mamasandiego.org, and Honolulu www.mamahonolulu.org.  If you would like more information about starting a MAMAS group in your area, please contact Rachel Black, .
