Meet the women at McDonald Carano who are making a difference for our firm, our clients and our communities.

Women’s History Month is celebrated in March, but all year long McDonald Carano honors the women who lead our practices, provide excellent service to our clients, and assure the professional operation of our firm. We would not be the firm we are today without their expertise, dedication and inspiration. 

We are grateful for their roles in our success and are fortunate and proud that they are part of the McDonald Carano family. Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee is led by Mackenzie Warren Kay (Chair), Karyna Armstrong (Vice Chair) and Kelci Binau (Vice Chair).
