Listen to this article

Stacey Trien and the new board of directors of the Greater Rochester Association for Women Attorneys will be recognized at an installation dinner on Wednesday at the Woodcliff Hotel & Spa.

This in-person event comes almost four months after the leaders were officially sworn-in to begin their work despite on-going pandemic obstacles.

As a chapter of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, GRAWA members are dedicated to strengthening the Rochester legal community and greater community as a whole.

Trien, GRAWA’s current president, has been an active member of GRAWA since 2014 and previously held several leadership roles.

In addition to co-chairing the program committee and serving on the board of directors, Trien led the PAD project to provide access and dignity to women in need of hygiene products.

In 2018, Trien was honored with GRAWA’s President’s Award for her commitment to this campaign.

Trien accepted the role of president-elect in December of 2019 and took on the challenges of remote participation with last year’s president Randi Proukou.

Trien has vowed to work tirelessly to maintain participation and engagement in the post-virtual era. Trien has stated her presidency will be based on the theme of “Knowing Your Value” in both one’s career and involvement in GRAWA.

Trien is a Brighton native who returned to the Rochester community after attending law school in Washington, D.C. and practicing in Miami for 12 years. She is a partner at Adams Leclair LLP and is focused particularly on litigating commercial and employment law matters, while also advising clients on compliance matters related to COVID-19 and other employment issues.
