ALA Faces Member and Chapter News
The ALA Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the vision, mission and goals of the Association as well as setting its strategic direction.
Members of the Chapter Resource Team (CRT) assist in the development of creative strategies that promote and educate members on the policies, programs and initiatives of ALA, including providing support and resources to chapters and their leaders. In addition to serving as mentors to chapters, team members serve as subject matter experts and they are interested in the further development of their own leadership skills.
The members that make up these groups are held in the highest regard and have been entrusted to guide ALA and the legal management profession into the future.
ALA is pleased to announce the 2020-2021 Board of Directors and Chapter Resource Team. These individuals will officially take office in May at the close of the Annual Conference & Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. Please join us in congratulating this extraordinary group of legal management professionals!
