Sharing Our Condolences

  • ALA received word of the February passing of former member Jerry R. Sullenberger, 79. Jerry was a member for several years and once served as President of the Florida Capital (Tallahassee) Chapter. He worked as Director of Administration at Carlton Fields, PA, and more recently as a Practice Management Adviser at The Florida Bar. He also owned his own technology training and consulting company. Jerry, who served in the U.S. Army and was awarded the Purple Heart three times, will have a memorial service with military honors at Tallahassee National Cemetery. Donations in his memory can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Wounded Warrior Project. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and former colleagues.

  • ALA is saddened by the death of Paula Serratore, 71, who retired as Executive Director of the Capital Chapter last year. Although Paula was not a member of ALA herself, she was deeply connected to our organization and helped champion charitable causes and mentor women in management. Prior to this role, she was an executive at companies including Lucent and Motorola, where she served as Head of Global Marketing. Contributions in her memory can be made to the Scleroderma Foundation. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and past colleagues.
