Welcome!As one of the leading bar organizations in the state of Texas, we are proud of our history and excited about our future.

A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD: COVID-19 Dear BCWB Members, As we monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and follow the guidance of local, state and national authorities, the health and safety of our members and our community remains our primary focus. Accordingly, the BCWB will be suspending all in-person events, gatherings, and meetings until further notice. We look forward to the day when we can gather together to support our mission, but until then, we are working to bring you remote opportunities to learn, connect, and give back. We will continue to provide updates on COVID-19 related orders and notices from our local, state, and federal courts, which you can view by CLICKING HERE. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can serve you better by sending an email to info@bexarcountywomensbar.org. Thank you for your continued support of our organization. Let’s all stay calm, safe and kind. The BCWB Board of Directors | News

| As we face our new uncharted reality today, a lot of us feel helpless and wish we could do more. Here is a chance to aid the local nonprofits that support our community so that they may continue to offer much needed services to the public. At the request of Mayor Ron Nirenberg in response to the COVID-19 emergency, The Nonprofit Council is now working in concert with the City of San Antonio to provide the Big Give Emergency Relief platform to assist with the raising of critical funds for nonprofits during this time of exceptional need. Check out the website below to donate and learn more: |
