Annual Conference
In 2016, Pinay Powerhouse founders Christine Start, Mari Bandoma Callado, Lorna Garcia De Guzman, Vanessa Candelaria and Jennifer Sta. Ana envisioned a women’s conference focused on empowering Filipina attorneys and aspiring attorneys as leaders in the law.
With the support of the women of the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California (FBANC), the founders’ vision came to fruition in 2017. Following the success of the inaugural conference, the Pinay Powerhouse Conference has been hosted by other Filipino/a/x bar associations in the United States.

Quarterly Pinay Powerhouse Circles
Each Quarter, the Pinay Powerhouse Collective hosts a virtual circle intentionally cultivated for self-identified Pinay Powerhouse attorneys and aspiring attorneys.
Sessions will not be recorded and all participants agree to keep what is shared within the circle.
