Tracy Baran is helping others realize their inner strength and potential

A successful attorney with Partridge Snow & Hahn, Tracy C. Baran is committed to empowering women by creating and participating in programs, initiatives and activities which focus on women's professional and personal development, and which eliminate barriers to success and personal fulfillment.

An active member of the Rhode Island Women’s Bar Association, Baran helped create a mentoring committee, which has had an impact on established female practitioners and new lawyers alike.

“As a young female lawyer in what is still predominantly a ‘man’s profession,’ having someone send the elevator back down is invaluable. Tracy is making that happen for so many young women,” Attorney Aileen L. Sprague says.

Baran’s involvement with young women is not limited to the Bar Association. She is committed to serving those in need, mentoring young women at St. Mary’s Home for Children. And through The Junior League of Rhode Island, she works to effect change and improve the lives of women and children in the community.
Baron was honored as one of the “40 Magical Women We Admire” at the Big Sisters of Rhode Island Abracadabra Ball, and received the Unsung Hero Award in 2008 from the West Elmwood Development Corporation.

Baran says, “Believe in what you do; otherwise you will never be fulfilled. Focus your efforts on projects, work, community activities that you truly believe in and whose mission you believe in. When you believe in the mission and the people involved in your work and community activities, you realize that the time commitment, the stress and the craziness of day-to-day activity is worth it because you are working towards something that makes a difference.”
