The mission of MAMAs Austin is to provide educational opportunities for our members (mothers and mothers-to-be who are lawyers, in the legal field, or pursuing legal careers) on topics pertaining to career advancement, networking, parenting issues, identifying and solving problems unique to working mothers, and other professional guidance and social events designed to permit women to connect and mentor one another about navigating a legal career while raising children.

​

This mission has resonated with many attorney moms in Austin for the better part of two decades. MAMAs began as a grassroots organization born from a casual conversation between two moms at a play date. From its first event in 2010, it grew over the next five years into a 501(c)(3) with an executive board and over 700 members. In 2025, membership surpassed 1,700.

 

We believe an attorney can advance her career without networking during hours she prefers spending with her children, and that being an involved mother doesn’t require putting one's career on the back burner.  We support our members by hosting informative lunch speakers, child-friendly networking events, and an active digital community where members share referrals, job postings, parenting tips, career tips, and any other helpful information.
