The 36th annual banquet and silent auction hosted by the Association for Women Attorneys (AWA) will be at 6 p.m. Jan. 21. The venue is the Tower Center at Clark Tower (5100 Poplar Ave., Suite 3300, Memphis).
The event supports scholarships at the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis. The admission price also has been lowered to help law students better afford to attend.

This year’s honoree will be Maureen T. Holland, owner of Holland and Associates PC. She is the 27th recipient of the Marion Griffin-Frances Loring Award for outstanding achievement in the legal profession.
The event includes:
