Welcome to the Cyber Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators!

Dear colleagues and all who may visit us, welcome to the Cyber Chapter!

It is an honor to serve as President for the Cyber Chapter of ALA, along with my fellow Board Members and Committee Chairs. We are excited and committed to continuing the amazing work done by those before us. It is from that place I begin my tenure as your President.

I want to thank and recognize Michele Hovland and her board for their service this past year. During her term, we implemented several new programs: Project Spark, Cyber Chapter App and the new CLM Prep Class to name a few. I encourage you to take advantage of the many benefits the Cyber Chapter provides.

As legal management professionals, we strive to provide our firms the best quality set of skills, knowledge and resources. Times are changing. We can no longer rely on our past experience to find the solutions we face in our firms. What worked ten years ago might not work today. The best advice my mentor gave me was “always think outside the box,” and I have lived by that ever since. It is with passion and endurance that I want to assist our members in advancing their knowledge and skills.

As President, I plan to create a mentoring program to facilitate networking opportunities within our chapter and provide cutting-edge resources and solutions that firms can use in their operations.

I want to provide the resources and knowledge to help prepare our members for issues that may arise. Being prepared to handle the projects, deadlines and knowing the solutions will help our members solve problems.

No more going to Google for solutions; find solutions in the Cyber Chapter.
